Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Instruction set matrix
Nimuaq's look into the reference made me notice an irregularity: The reference is supporting the statement about the ARM and MIPS architectures having variable-length instructions; and the reference is the proceedings of a conference held in 1991. However, ARM and MIPS did not have variable-length instructions until the Thumb and MIPS16 extensions, respectively, were added in the mid-1990s, and well beyond 1991 when the conference was held. So what is the reference meant to be verifying? I have no idea. Could it have been vandalism or a mistake? Looking at the http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Instruction_set_matrix&oldid=87623141 first revision of the article, the reference has not moved from its present location. Additionally, looking at the abstracts of the conference papers at IEEE Xplore, I see nothing that indicated that the topic has any coverage in the proceedings in an obvious manner. As a result, the reference appears to be erroneous; and while it may have been an honest mistake, it does give additional weight to deletion by adding |verification concerns to notability
