brainfuck
Profane, non-existent.
 * It obviously exists, but: what's the proper capitalization? Is lowercase really correct? -- Liliana • 16:52, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Of course it exists. It is, however, normally capitalized. (and profanity is irrelevent) SemperBlotto (talk) 16:54, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Is it? The Wikipedia article writes it only in lowercase. Is there any significant usage in lowercase elsewhere? 17:21, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep: I'm used to seeing this in lower case, as stated in the header of the WP article:
 * "The name of the language is generally not capitalized except at the start of a sentence, although it is a proper noun."

 * Keep, why was this nominated? Mglovesfun (talk) 10:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, newbie user seems to have nominated this in good faith. Two points for him/her. Wiktionary is not censored, and 'existence' is determined by WT:CFI. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:13, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Arrowred.png Oh dear, I see that somebody has removed the computer language sense. Would someone be so kind as to restore / add it?  -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 16:12, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * I added it. According to the Esoteric Programming Language Wiki “The title of this article may well be brainfuck, due to typically being lowercased except, often, at the start of a sentence.”. — Ungoliant (Falai) 17:17, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * @Eirikr, not removed, nobody had added it until Ungoliant did it at your request. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:35, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * @Ungoliant, @Mglovesfun -- thank you! -- Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 17:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually it was added, it was even the only sense there until PalkiaX50 moved the entry to Brainfuck, leaving brainfuck with no entry. 19:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Yup. There was originally an entry for brainfuck featuring the programming language sense (created in 2007), which PalkiaX50 moved to Brainfuck, leaving no redirect. I knew there was also a non-programming-language lowercase sense, so I recreated the brainfuck entry after digging up a few cites. Astral (talk) 19:19, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
