removed unsourced programming language (irrelevant anyway for closed-source software)
unsourced? what do you mean by that? How can you 'proof' that something is written in a certain language? Do you need a screenshot of a PE analyzer? This seems very far-fetched and taking the whole 'source your fact' a bit too far and out of context.
Second, it is not irrelevant at all. Proof of that is, for example, that this question is asked on these forums. Closed source software can be programmed in a variarity of languages.
Please add this relevant information back.
It is this kind of extra background information which could/would lead to a comprehensive wiki article.

(Multilingual - rename to Languages and indent to previous section - although I'm not sure if it's notable enough to list every language)
The languages aren't part of the features. It can have its own catagory (also the reason why it has its own entry in the infobox for software template).
The list of the available languages can be there. I don't see why not. It is again extra information (although it needs to be updated each time a new language is added or removed. Although that does not happen a lot).
The whole idea of "it's not noteable enough" for each piece of information is quite often overused. The point of Wiki is to provide information about something. If you remove (or not list) such information then why do you have a wiki article of Plus! in the first place? In that case you could simply state that Plus! is an addon for WLM and be done with it. To say it differently, if a list of available languages is not noteable enough, then so is 90% of the rest of the article.
--------
Although I can understand why you removed most of the external links, the WP:EL also states that if the links are relevant they can be included. Those links were relevant (as they were the only official websites related to Plus!). It is not because such a site doesn't provide direct information about the product that it can't be listed.
WP:EL is more to provide a guideline to make sure that the external links section doesn't become a massive list of (advertising) sites. But since the links which were provided were only official links, they were relevant. Again proof of this is that some people download stuff from unofficial links and get into trouble. That on its own makes that such a list of official sites is already very relevant information.
Anyways, even if you are very strict in it, the following links provide direct relevant information. Even relevant in the strict sence, and thus should be there:
