Keep: I added third-party coverage sources, including one from InfoQ. However, I created this article because someone created a whole chapter about it in the main Android article. I deleted it from this article, because it had nothing to do there, but I thought that it might be worthy of an article in itself (there are a lot of references on this project, mainly by it's old name, on the web).

Strong Keep Eminently notable runtime interface for a device where 10's of thousands of Android developers will no doubt be using. scope_creep (talk) 00:13, 13 November 2010 (UTC). Well worth an article.[reply]
Operating systems are large and complex entities. The most complex construct that man has ever built. It would take 10's of thousands of WP articles to describe Android in sufficient detail for the lay person to understand how it works. Therefore a seperate article for this interface is ideal. scope_creep (talk) 02:23, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Scripting Layer for Android is not part of the core Android OS. So I don't think it's would be good to put it back in the main article. It only clutters the already very large Android article there. Hervegirod (talk) 14:08, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
