BANCStar programming language → BANCStar – The subject is named "BANCStar", not "BANCStar programming language". jlwoodwa (talk) 00:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
Oppose: BANCStar is actually two different (albeit closely related) things (1) a banking software suite (2) the programming language in which it is (partially) implemented. The primary focus of the article is (2) not (1), which is why I think "programming language" should remain in the title.SomethingForDeletion (talk) 09:00, 22 April 2024 (UTC)- Are you saying that this is a WP:PRIMARYRED situation? In that case, "BANCStar programming language" is not WP:NATURAL disambiguation, so the article should be named BANCStar (programming language) or similar. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:52, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
- Support: Having thought about this topic more, I have changed my mind, and now support the proposal. The problem with "BANCStar programming language", is it is questionable if it really counts as a "programming language". The vendor (Broadway and Seymour) never intended it to be a programming language – it was the bytecode for their virtual machine. They probably had some in-house compiler which generated that byte code. Then some customers started hacking with it by hand, and called it a "programming language". But it never really was, any more than Java or .Net bytecode are programming languages. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 05:04, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
