Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Obix programming language
I added http://www.99-bottles-of-beer.net/language-obix-2116.html '99 bottles of beer' source code example as a reference in the article, because according to Wikipedia:99 Bottles of Beer test: "This test considers the notability of a language in terms of its appearance in a random collection of example program ...". I think it's important to note that List of programming languages contains many languages that are certainly not notable if  is strictly applied. But all of them have their own Wikipedia page. Some of them don't have any references at all. I don't want to give concrete examples, but they can be found very easily. Some languages are not (yet) 'famous', but they might cover specific needs and therefore (IMHO) it's good to have them included in Wikipedia. Some visitors appreciate the fact that the list is complete. Would it be fair, then, to delete this article? I think it's also worth noting that 'Obix' is not 'commercial software'. It is an open-source programming language, licensed under the AGPL, free of charge for everyone, and it tries to help solving one the most notable problems persisting since decades in the software development industry, namely to create more reliable software
