- (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)
Only primary sources exist, which is not sufficient. Notability contested for a long time with no sign of notability likely to appear for defunct research project Ysangkok (talk) 11:37, 4 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep A quick WP:BEFORE style search for "Aldor" programming showed a number of books that have sections describing Aldor; I added three of them as general references to the article. GScholar, with hundreds of hits, shows that there are likely more independent sources. Given these, there are enough in depth, independent RS that this topic passes WP:GNG. Using these sources, a reasonable article could be developed. Hence keep. --

Draftify and improve. The page doesn't look encyclopedic and the sources are not so clear. I suggest to draftify the article and then add more sources and rewrite the article in a more encyclopedic format and then subit for review. --Onetimememorial (talk) 20:37, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Article needs development but that is unlikely to happen in draft space. WP:NOTCLEANUP. ~Kvng (talk) 23:52, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per sources added by Mark Viking. ~Kvng (talk) 23:50, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Specific analysis of the newly added references would be very helpful.

- Keep per Mark Viking. Just running through the three sources added to the article: [1] is a paper published in academic conference proceedings containing 9 lines (> 100 words) about the language as such and another 9 lines (> 100 words) about the Aldor compiler. [2] is a dedicated paper of several thousand words with extensive detail on Aldor by Erik Poll and Simon Thompson; [3] is another such paper by Thompson. (AFAICT authors Poll and Thompson, although they have both written extensively on Aldor, are not in any meaningful sense affiliated with it; here is a presentation by Poll explaining Aldor's history.) I think we're comfortably in GNG territory here; and if not, there's a lot more where these came from. -- Visviva (talk) 01:50, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
