[edit] Vulcan (programing language)

Vulcan (programing language) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This language doesn't come close to meeting WP:N. Looks like it was up for Speedy Deletion before, but the article's creator deleted the tag himself. So, I feel this is probably the best course of action Jauerback 14:36, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Historically this was notable as the precursor of dBASE, which only achieved the success it did because it was programmable. —Ian Spackman 15:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to DBASE#Origins where it is alreayd mentioned with mostly the same content and source. --Tikiwont 15:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Tikiwont. —gorgan_almighty 16:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to DBASE#Origins. Article has no real content. --Boricuaeddie 18:24, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

• Only because nobody has yet put in any real effort in expanding it from stub status. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathmo (talk • contribs)

• Keep, is the ancestor to dBase/FoxPro (which even though they have long gone out of favour are still one of the top twenty languages in the world). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathmo (talk • contribs)
• Redirect to dBase#Origins, per the above three commenters who voted Redirect. The source referenced here has so little info on Vulcan that it would not allow the present article to be expanded beyond a tiny stub. Since Vulcan is notable only as a precursor to dBase, the dBase article is where the information should go. EdJohnston 23:05, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per Tikiwont. - Cyborg Ninja 00:51, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
