Declined prod. Based on primary sources and fails WP:EVENT. LibStar (talk) 22:18, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Events and Computing. LibStar (talk) 22:18, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Comment quite a prestigious conference. I put a weak source on the talk page, a proper search is needed. Widefox; talk 22:43, 27 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a top venue in programming languages. It easily meets WP:JOURNALCRIT. Note that secondary sources are not a criteria for keeping journal/conference articles, any of the metrics on that page will qualify (e.g., citation score, impact factor for C1). As to improving the article itself, well that's another question. Caleb Stanford (talk) 07:25, 28 November 2025 (UTC)
Keep: Are you sure you nominated the right article? WP: EVENT does not apply here -- that is a guideline more commonly used for events that might appear on the news, such as natural disasters, crimes, etc. WP: NJOURNALS is the correct guideline to apply here, and PLDI plainly meets that criteria per Caleb's remarks.

  • Keep (by dePRODder) yes, I second User:HyperAccelerated re EVENT. User:LibStar I see you've PRODed a few journals - please can you review your multiple prods with this in mind, or say and as a precaution I suggest they are mass deproded? Widefox; talk 14:26, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
    I would strongly advise against a mass dePROD. I do think this nomination is pretty terrible, but reverting every PROD that they've made recently would probably border on WP: HOUNDING. HyperAccelerated (talk) 21:05, 30 November 2025 (UTC)
