Proposed for deletion as Non-notable software. No evidence of significant coverage in independent sources. Tagged for notability for a decade. PROD was declined due to a prior REFUND at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion/Archive 81#Unified Code Count (UCC), but no party has done anything to address the lack of sourcing. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 01:46, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge extremely selectively to Source lines of code. This was important work and is still in use by the US Department of Defense. However there is almost no independent material available for a separate article. As a note about the earlier days of Wikipedia, one of the papers on the project reports:

A Wikipedia® [6] page was set up for the UCC as a structured software environment to record and present project information to the software community. This wiki is periodically updated by student teams at USC.

"periodically updated" in this case appears to have only lasted until 2011. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 21:41, 25 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Previously PROD'd so not eligible for Soft Deletion.
