No evidence of notability. Creator has admitted (by e-mail) their COI. Prod removed with: "this is a new Java framework announced at the recent JavaOne 2012 conference". To which I simply say, "so what". — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:13, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How is Dari less credible than Hibernate or Spring? They're all Java frameworks. I'm wondering what's missing that makes it less credible or if moving it to another section might help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.104.236.154 (talk) 17:52, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence of notability for the Dari (Java Framework) article can be found in the fact that several companies currently use the technology to power their websites. Several of those companies have agreed to be mentioned in the official press release announcing the open source release of the Dari framework: http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/perfect-sense-digital-to-unveil-dari-an-open-source-java-development-framework-at-javaone-2012-171508231.html

The press release is a promotional document, but it includes an independent quote from Bill Bell, Vice President Web Technologies at HealthGrades, stating: "We have been using Dari and Brightspot CMS at HealthGrades for well over a year."

The Dari framework was extensively demonstrated live for 3 days to a large number of Java developers. The source code is available on GitHub under a BSD license (very permissive, limited interest for original owner). Further evidence of notability should arise in the coming days/weeks. An independent podcast interview should be available shortly @ http://basementcoders.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.104.236.154 (talk) 18:09, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
