I do not personally feel that the highly specific nature of this article meets the threshold of WP:NOTABLE / WP:DUE for it to be considered an appropriate subject for an article in its own right. Probably most interpreted languages come with some form of REPL; do we need a separate article for every one? What about IRB merits its listing as a separate article, when (IMHO) it could more elegantly be a section of the main article on Ruby? Archon 2488 (talk) 20:04, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Ruby (programming language)#Features; this article is almost entirely a how-to guide/example farm so I don't even see anything to merge, and the sole source is primary. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 04:42, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect per Pppery. WP is not a Ruby manual. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:24, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect as per the above. Not seeing anything salvageable and not seeing much reliable sources covering this topic for merging. 0xDeadbeef→∞ (talk to me) 14:31, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
