The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete, a concept referenced by a person isn't automatically worth inclusion (I'm sure mr. Knuth has referenced other things during his life). There's no context here to establish notability by (which means I don't know where it could be merged in the Knuth article). - Bobet 11:16, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Utopia 84

This page has existed since August 2004, so I am hesitant to nominate it; however, I am unable to find encyclopaedic value in the one sentence which is here. As far as I can tell, Utopia 84 is the name of a programming language which did not actually exist, but was referenced as an ideal by Donald Knuth. A Google search for "Utopia 84" -Hawkwind (the band Hawkwind recorded an unrelated song by this name) produces 506 results, many of which mirror the text of this article, the rest of which offer no further insight as to why this concept/language is/was important or otherwise. Anyway, I currently recommend deleting this as it fails to demonstrate notability, with perhaps the option of mentioning the concept in the Knuth article if it is even that important.

• Delete Doesn't exist. Has probably lasted since August 2004 because practically no one has seen it. Only link is from Utopia (disambiguation) which will need modifying if this page is deleted. Emeraude 12:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I think it not impossible that I would change my mind if someone expands this article, but right now there's nothing and no evidence that it could be anything.--Prosfilaes 15:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Donald Knuth pending verification -- Notability pales in comparison to TeX, CWEB, and MIX. Haikupoet 04:37, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
