Reads like an essay someone submitted for homework, rather than something that should be included in an encyclopaedia. AtlasDuane (talk) 19:42, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

delete - reeks of original research. --Orange Mike | Talk 19:47, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - per WP:NOTESSAY. This is the very definition of WP:OR. The thesis is here: ... that sum up to say Python is the top programming language of 2021. The rest is original research. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:50, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment As evidenced by all the primary sources in the article, measuring programming language popularity is an active field of endeavor and possibly a notable topic. What we would need would be secondary reliable sources comparing and contrasting the kinds of metrics developed and how they are measured. There are secondary sources like [1] and [2] that take this approach, but I don't believe they are reliable. Hence I agree with deletion for now, but am happy to reconsider should secondary RS be found. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 17:17, 11 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:OR, but in principle, it could be promising once the research catches up. Mason (talk) 13:17, 12 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
