  • Delete. It certainly existed; see [http://www.mendeley.com/research/typed-objectoriented-programming-abel-project-posthumous-report/ here]. But I can't find enough citations of this or the related papers on the project to convince me of its lasting significance. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:04, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Comment. Played a minor role in the history of bounded quantification. See Benjamin C. Pierce, "[http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=143228 Bounded quantification is undecidable]", POPL '92. Probably deserves a (short) mentioning there. —Ruud 04:23, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

  • comment A7 is "A7. No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)." and does not apply to this kind of articles. Christian75 (talk) 21:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Delete - N significant coverage in reliable sources. It appears to have been part of some research project within HP.
