[edit] Spectacle BASIC

This article on BASIC variant gives no website for the product and I have not been able to find one in Google searches. I am not sure if this is a product available for download (or purchase, but it says it's open source). I might change my vote if a website is added to the article, but as is I think it should be deleted.-gadfium 01:09, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I did find the briefest of mentions here (use your browser's find tool to find "spectacle"):

"A free BASIC that includes a GUI builder, runs on Linux and Windows and is similar to Visual Basic is Phoenix Object Basic, while another is Spectacle BASIC, which is currently under development."

However, this is not nearly enough, and this is the only mention on any non-Wikipedia website I could find. Perhaps this is because it may be currently under development (or may not, depending on when that was written)... but anyway, as far as I'm aware, the burden of providing proof / references and asserting notability lies with the writer --Qirex 05:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC) (Opinion remains unchanged after addition of links to forums and beta release download) --Qirex 06:12, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

• • There are now a number of links posted on the article's talk page. Frankly I think this program is not yet ready for a Wikipedia article. My vote stands, but once the program has a home page and is available as a non-beta to the public, I would not object to the article being recreated.-gadfium 05:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
