[edit] Pi language
Non-notable programming language, doesn't meet WP:SOFTWARE (Assuming a programming language counts as software). Can't find any record of this in a google search. The author of this article has listed some sources in the talk page, but they consist of wikipedia articles and one portugese blog, no reliable sources Xyzzyplugh 00:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per nom. Also remove "Pi language" section of Hello world program in esoteric languages. —Caesura(t) 00:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete, non-notable programming language. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 01:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete else if WP:NN; else if WP:V; end if. SynergeticMaggot 02:09, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge to brainfuck. Phr (talk) 02:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Comment I can't find a single reliable source to verify that this language is anything beyond a figment of the author's imagination. Do you have any information to indicate that this topic is notable and verifiable enough to include in another article? -- Caesura(t) 02:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- I think it's in the proper spirit, or something reasonably close. Brainfuck hasn't exactly taken the world by storm either. My suggestion: stick a brief mention of Pi into the Brainfuck article, delete the Pi article, and leave it up to the regular Brainfuck editors (who probably aren't reading this afd) whether they want to keep the Pi mention or not. (Actually, I see there's already a wikilink in brainfuck under "related languages", so just change the wikilink to an external link, and again, leave final disposal up to the brainfuck editors).

- Oh yow, I just went to add this link and I see there's more than a dozen wikipedia articles about equally obscure brainfuck variants. I think they all need to be merged into one or two articles. Phr (talk) 09:44, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Already changed the reference links in Wikipedia to external links. Sorry for any inconvenience. --Thotypous 14:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Makes sense. Alex Pankratov 20:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nom. WIkipedia is not an instruction manual or an indiscriminate collection of information. Alphachimp talk 03:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per all above, unless some sources for this subject can be found, in which case merge. Google searches for the term didn't come up with anything relevant, which is unusual even for the most obscure languages formulated with computers. -- H·G (words/works) 03:54, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as non-notable. Google finds no results, and the Esolang page is a copy of the Wikipedia article made by the person who suggested it as a reference (not that it would be acceptable anyway). To be honest, it should probably have been created there (and not here) in the first place, though there may be license issues with moving it now. - makomk 09:31, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Merge & redirect per Phr. Themindset 18:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- As much as I like to merge, all that seems to exist of this language is a piece of python code dumped on wikipedia. It doesn't even sound as though it's intelligible to code in Pi, merely convert from bf. Anyone tried the code? It may not even work. Delete. - Samsara (talk • contribs) 20:21, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete as per nom. --Kitia 00:01, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Not a language, just a way of formatting brainfuck to make it more incomprehensible. Why not just encrypt the source if that's your goal? - Richfife 00:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
