Hi. This overly technical article is not notable (as defined by Wikipedia) and uses only Microsoft-published resources as source. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 20:50, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Really now? Have you even used .NET? Do you know what it is? Roslyn is a milestone development in the .NET framework, and is at the core of Microsoft's next iteration of the .NET Framework and Visual Studio 2012 development. Noldorin (talk) 21:21, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

• Comment - at least a few third-party reliable source material seems to exist. [http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsofts-roslyn-compiler-as-a-service-support-unlikely-to-be-in-visual-studio-2012/10896] [http://www.zdnet.com/blog/microsoft/microsoft-moves-forward-with-roslyn-compiler-as-a-service-project/10071].

• :Hi. That's quite true. I thought it still does not fit the bill for "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources independent of the subject" especially since Mary Jo Foley usually gets more and more closer to rehashing a dependent source. But let's see what comes out of this discussion. Not all the AfDs end in deletion. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 03:19, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
• Keep In addition to ZDNet and InfoWorld, also coverage in Visual Studio Magazine[http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2012/06/05/roslyn-ctp-refresh-targets-visual-studio-2012-rc.aspx][http://visualstudiomagazine.com/articles/2012/03/20/10-questions-10-answers-on-roslyn.aspx] (an independent publication), The Register[http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/03/visual_basic_c_sharp_future/][http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/10/20/microsoft_roslyn_ctp/], and Developer.com[http://www.developer.com/net/an-introduction-to-microsoft-roslyn.html] (part of QuinStreet). Seems to be also coverage in Windows PowerShell for Developers (O'Reilly)[http://my.safaribooksonline.com/book/programming/microsoft-windows-powershell/9781449322694/8dot-dlls-types-properties-methods-and-microsoft-roslyn/chapter_8_dlls_types_propertie][http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=yIL8goCG-nQC&lpg=PA115&ots=dyx_Ws9mid&dq=%22Microsoft%20Roslyn%22&pg=PA115#v=onepage&q=%22Microsoft%20Roslyn%22&f=false]. Being "overly technical" isn't grounds for deletion because it can be fixed by editing (read WP:AfD). --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:17, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
