This article could be speedy-deleted as WP:CSD#G4 since it was deleted following this debate. But it was 13 years ago and it was a close decision so I suppose it's fair to revisit the issue. I'm personally ambivalent. It's a joke language and a pretty silly one at that but it appears to be semi-famous as far as joke languages go. Pichpich (talk) 18:20, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

- Note to closer for soft deletion: While this discussion appears to have no quorum, it is NOT eligible for soft deletion because it was previously discussed at AfD and the result was Delete arguments are stronger, and there is no double jeapordy in Wiki. An article which is notable will survive all reasonable XfD's. --Cewbot (talk) 00:03, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete no indication of notability. Votes for keep in '07 centered around the fact that 'people were talking about it'. People aren't talking about it anymore, and I can find no sources to indicate passing WP:GNG. Suggest perhaps salting as has been deleted multiple times in the past, this is the fourth time the article has been taken to Afd and consensus has been reached to delete (also discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beatnik programming language). There's no indication it will become notable in the future. Eddie891 Talk Work 14:27, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. Joke languages attract a bit of interest at first and are then forgotten. I see no indication that this is notable. Bduke (talk) 00:35, 4 June 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. Note that the outcome of the discussion I linked is that the article should not just be recopied over from Simple English Wikipedia, which is exactly what this article is. WikiMaster111 (talk) 16:40, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
