Dead language that was never really alive. No good refs. —Wasell(T) 17:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)

- Delete - Not notable for an article on its own. It gets a mention on List of programming languages which will become a red link on deletion, but not a reason to retain it. I have added it to List of programming languages by type#Stack-based_languages with a reference. That is sufficient information for readers to locate the historical information should they be so interested, and to ensure deletion here does not consign it to total oblivion. There is really not much more that can go on this Wikipedia page (except for the interesting aside that the stack could grow from both ends). I searched for WP:RS but could find nothing. I thought I had found an article in the Linux Journal but that turns out to be for a completely different Onyx.[1]. Onyx code is still available - it is Open Source - but there seems to be almost no visibility for the language beyond a burst of hype in 2004. Thus deletion of its own page is correct. -- Sirfurboy (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
