Oz (programming language)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Sources offered are all WP:PRIMARY or, in the case of the benchmark source, fail even to mention the subject. Googling turned up nothing useful. Msnicki (talk) 21:11, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination withdrawn. Thank you both for your efforts. I agree these are sufficient sources. Kind regards. Msnicki (talk) 16:08, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep—I was able to find these additional reliable sources:

Frühwirth, Thom; Michel, Laurent; Schulte, Christian (2006), "Constraints in Procedural and Concurrent Languages", in Rossi, Francesca; van Beek, Peter; Walsh, Toby (eds.), Handbook of Constraint Programming (PDF), Foundations of Artificial Intelligence, Elsevier, pp. 453–486, ISBN 978-0-444-52726-4

Discusses how the CC, Oz and AKL languages can be used for constraint programming.

Wooldridge, Michael J.; Jennings, Nicholas R. (1995), "Agent Theories, Architectures, and Languages: A Survey" (PDF), Intelligent Agents, Springer

Only discussed in a single paragraph, but as this is a survey article nothing else got much more than that, either. Cited 1495 times per google scholar.

Smolka, Gert, The Oz Programming Model (PDF), Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol. 1000, Springer, pp. 324–343

This is a half-step away from WP:PRIMARY as it's LNCS, and it's not independent, but it has been cited 616 times per google scholar. Given this combined with the two citations above, I think there's a good-but-not-great case for notability. I will admit, though, that notability might be easier to demonstrate if the article was moved to Oz (programming model and language).
