In Wikipedia, the real battle unfolded between a group of users who are trying to remove the "extra" programming languages and those who return them back. Over the last 24 hours, articles about
Nemerle and
Alice ML have already been deleted, and they have been placed on the
list for deleting articles on Factor, Joy, Ioke, Pure, etc.
From the history of edits it is easy to see who exactly from the editors of Wikipedia submitted applications for deleting articles. For example, one of these activists, Christopher Monsanto (

updated his profile on Wikipedia, which explains the reasons for his behavior. He believes that these materials do not meet the criteria of Wikipedia about the importance of articles, but despite this, promises nothing more to delete.
Dear internet,
You guys win. I will stop nominating pages for deletion.According to supporters of deleting articles, the lists of programming languages become too long and include dozens of tiny self-made languages that have no meaning and are not known to almost anyone, except for their authors.

Interestingly, Christopher Monsanto for all the time never added almost no new content, and all his
activity on the site comes down to editing and deleting "extra" materials. Of course, such people also benefit and act solely on good faith.
