A56 (software)

Possibly non notable assembler. Hard to search for sources because of the generic name, and, in any case, I am unfamiliar with Usenet, and this article seems to relate to it, so perhaps I am missing something key. J Milburn 18:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep The DSP56k is a well-known product family, but as there does not seem to be a parent article for the DSP56k, I'd say keep it. DSP development is a little more specialized than general processor development, and there aren't that many (or at least that I am aware of) Yngvarr (t) (c) 19:07, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Addendum to above Well, I'm not going to strike my vote, but I did do a little bit of work on the article. I am afraid it'll never get beyond the stub phase. However, I did find that the 56k family does have an article, so I've properly linked it. Maybe it'll be better to merge these two sentences to that article?

Delete, just another piece of non-notable software. I would like to see an improvement before the decision though. BASE101() 19:08, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per BASE10; this article should get cleaned up before final consensus. NASCAR Fan24^{(radio me!)} 19:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, notability of processor is irrelevant as notability is not inherited. No attribution of notability to independent sources kills it. --Dhartung | Talk 22:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Per NASCAR's reasoning. • Lawrence Cohen 15:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I added an external link for it to the Motorola 56000 article, but that's about all the merging I think it deserves. —David Eppstein 17:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete as virtually empty.--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 07:13, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No assertion of notability, much less one verified by reliable, third-party published sources. — Satori Son 01:50, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
