This article describes a supposed computer programming paradigm that is not one of the well-known programming paradigms, and which has no citations to the computer science or software engineering literature, neither journal paper nor conference proceedings (the only "citation" is to an opinion piece in a technical blog). The only use of this so-called paradigm described in the article is by a one-person programming language (XL) by the same author (also without citations to the computer science literature). I have searched for citations in the scientific literature and there are none; also the article has been tagged for not providing citations since March 2014.

This article violates both original research and notability wikipedia polices. Moreover, it is listed on the main "programming paradigm" template, where it is listed amongst genuine well-known paradigms and so will mislead computer science students who are likely to read it.

• very weak overturn to merge to XL (programming language) or Christophe de Dinechin. No objection to delete. Per WP:MULTIAFD should we also be considering XL (programming language) (possible dab?) and Christophe de Dinechin ? Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:37, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• I agree that the additional articles also violate original research and notability guidelines. Therefore, I am also nominating the following related pages because XL (programming language) is a single author project with no citations to the computer science or software engineering literature, despite searches, and the author's article "Christophe de Dinechin" is non-notable, with the main claims being the non-notable XL and concept programming articles:

   :XL (programming language) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
   :Christophe de Dinechin (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

• Keep Christophe de Dinechin and weak merge for XL The Alpha Waves games was one of the first 3D Atari home games, that influenced several others including Alone in the Dark. scope_creep (talk) 09:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC several

I think there should be with a long career several other instances of notabilty. I cant see anything about XL apart from trivial mentions. scope_creep (talk) 14:31, 20 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Christophe de Dinechin and merge XL (programming language) for reasons stated above, Christophe de Dinechin's solid career is notable; while in my experience little-known paradigms, theories etc. tend to only have sources from one author, which appears to be the case here, and that doesn't make for a good article on its own when it could easily be merged.
