The language appears to be non-notable to the point that it would be impossible to find reliable secondary-source information about it, because no such sources appear to exist. A search for it at the ACM digital library turned up nothing that I could find. No wikipedia article links to it, except for trivialities like "list of programming languages". There are no Google search results for it except for the project's own web pages and copies of the WP article. The ferite-users mailing list has seen no traffic since early 2006 and has fewer than 80 messages in the five years before that. Dominus 20:43, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge into something.... It seems to be worth mentioning somewhere, but per nom, does not have any other sources other than ferite.org. Panoptical 22:38, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, unless someone can find a notability-satisfying source. —Piet Delport 2007-08-12 02:05
- Delete. After adding some keywords to a Google scholar search to get rid of the ferrite misspellings that were swamping it, all I could find were four trivial mentions among lists of other languages in patents, all from the same group. That's not enough secondary sourcing to convince me anyone really cares about this language. —David Eppstein 07:16, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per Wikipedia:Verifiability: "If an article topic has no reliable, third-party sources, Wikipedia should not have an article on it." -- Satori Son 15:48, 16 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
