Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Y (programming language)
So far, the only argument for deletion seems to be that there are a lack of secondary sources.  I believe I've shown that not to be true.  Between the original paper describing Y and the 20 or so citations thereof, using Y for a variety of optimization studies, there's plenty of material available to write a good article on Y.  Most of the delete votes, at their heart, seem to be motivated by the fact that Y is no longer in widespread use in academia.  The feeling seems to be that, as a "dead" language, it isn't notable.  That's simply not what |notability means on Wikipedia.  We have sources, we can write a good article, so we should do so. To the closing admin, unless one of the people proposing deletion can come up with an argument that doesn't rest upon the lack of sources, their arguments should be discarded as being Sound argument|unsound
