Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pure (programming language)
I agree with the above comment, and I think this is a perfect use case for . Blind application of the  rule is working against Wikipedia in the PL field. Pure, Alice, Nemerle and similar small languages are important, programmers know about them even if they are not in production use, these languages fill gaps between various approaches and paradigms, so they can't be ignored by Wikipedia even if there is not enough media coverage, because otherwise Wikipedia can't provide a full picture to a curious reader. '''Merge''' can also be considered, but I'm afraid it's impossible to make a readable page that merges several very different languages, and it's not clear how to merge them - either to term-rewriting languages, or functional languages, or macro languages - there is no single category that fits a language better than another. The best approach would be having separate pages for each language, and references from all categories (the way it is now). Disclaimer: I'm not a stakeholder of any of these languages, I'm a C++ programmer
