Delete per WP:GNG. PianoDan (talk) 13:44, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As relevant as any Intermediate language.--Kopiersperre (talk) 18:20, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant is not important. Notable, as defined by secondary sources, is important. PianoDan (talk) 19:58, 23 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This IR has been recently announced, but is not used anywhere. It seems this is a case of WP:TOOSOON--not enough time has elapsed for this IR to gain multiple in depth reliable sources needed for notability per WP:GNG. Maybe when OpenCL 2.1 comes out with SPIR as the IR, this will gain more notability over time. But until then, delete. --Mark viking (talk) 03:38, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Doesn't seem like a case of WP:TOOSOON to me - the standard has been around for a while, and the article doesn't have to be exclusively about SPIR-V (though considering that it's completely rewritten, this choice of version numbering seems strange). There's a little bit of coverage in the kinds of places you'd expect to cover such a niche topic - Phoronix on the 2012 1.0 draft, Anandtech and TechEnablement on the 2014 2.0 version, App Developer Magazine on the 2015 release, now-out-of-date Intel Tutorial. Not exactly in-depth, true, but enough to prevent the waste of deleting the article and recreating it again in a few months. (BTW, PianoDan, some of the standards in this navbox family might be borderline but OpenCL, OpenGL, etc.? Not in doubt.) Opabinia regalis (talk) 05:05, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with that, and general comment retracted. Still don't see this one as notable. PianoDan (talk) 19:08, 26 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. I am not seeing reliable, in-depth, secondary sources on this. Neutrality^talk 03:33, 31 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per the articles provided by Opabinia regalis (talk · contribs). The sources from Phoronix, AnandTech, and App Developer Magazine all provide significant coverage about Standard Portable Intermediate Representation (SPIR).
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Standard Portable Intermediate Representation to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
