Non-notable programming language. The only sources are the language's official website, and I found no online sources in English or Chinese that establish notability. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 12:33, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not help that searching for easy programming language just brings up a list of languages that are "easy"

but yeah, google scholar search[1] also seems to indicate little to no interest in the language. The current article attracts little attention and is mostly a manual for hello world. Bluethricecreamman (talk) 00:39, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It appears chinese in origin. If an editor with experience in chinese programming language could help provide info, that would be nice.

There are some sourcing in the chinese wikipedia [2], but they suffer same problem as what nom suggests Bluethricecreamman (talk) 00:42, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete since sourcing from zhwiki article does not use reliable sourcing, and barely any sources online. Toadette^Edit! 17:12, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak~~ keep per WP:Notability (software). This language is taught in middle schools across the country. However, a more thorough search for sources is needed. IntGrah (talk) 12:56, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

A quick search found these sources:

On the use of modules in the Easy Programming Language [3]
Usage and research on the Easy Programming Language [4]
A comparative study of Chinese and English visual programming [5]
I need this and so I solve it like this. Needs and tools for students and professionals of translation and interpreting in the face of the digital multilingual challenge [6]

However, they don't have open access. There are also many articles about the usage of the language, but I excluded them from here. It appears sufficient to conclude notability.

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.
1. The sources found by IntGrah (talk · contribs)'s excellent research:

    The abstract notes: "就易语言中模块的功能与使用进行了深入研究,体现了易语言中易模块在程序设计中所起的重要作用."
    From Google Translate: "The function and use of modules in Easy Programming Language are studied in depth, which reflects the important role of Easy modules in Easy Programming Language in program design."

    The abstract notes: "分别从运行占用资源、编码效率、程序运行速度与代码量等多个方面与其它编程语言进行了比较研究,从而体现出易语言编程的优点."
    From Google Translate: "A comparative study was conducted with other programming languages from various aspects such as running resources, coding efficiency, program running speed and code amount, thus reflecting the advantages of Easy Programming Language."

    The abstract notes: "在易语言与VS2010开发环境上, 模块化等方面效率更高。"
    From Google Translate: "In the development environment of Easy Programming Language and VS2010, the differences and advantages and disadvantages of Chinese and English visual programming are studied by comparing different factors such as windows, variables, and codes. The results show that Chinese programming is relatively disadvantaged in terms of space and time efficiency, but is more efficient in terms of writability, organization, and modularity."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Easy Programming Language (Chinese: 易语言) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

Delete No wide coverage of the programming language. I also doubt it’s notability. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 13:11, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
