No notability established (tagged since Oct 2011)- no references Vrenator ^talk 10:13, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No refs, no evidence of notability. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 14:46, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I have to agree with this - it has only basic details so needs more detail and proper sources. Which I doubt will happen as the article is 2 years old! Adrianw9 (talk) 15:51, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—Added two solid cites (lwn.net and linux.com), but as best I can tell there's nothing else out there in the way of reliable sources. If anyone else can dig up a couple of more cites I'm happy to reconsider, but as it stands this doesn't meet WP:NSOFT. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 22:20, 3 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—Added reference from Floss weekly. To cite WP:NSOFT: “It is not unreasonable to allow relatively informal sources[3] for free and open source software, if significance can be shown.” There are sources from 2006, 2011 and 2012, showing that this is no short-term bubble. Coverage in LWN.net is significant in Free Software. (I came here because wanted give the advise to check Ledger and even before I got to send the link, I saw the deletion request on Wikipedia…).

Abstain— I have been the maintainer of the Ledger documentation since late 2011. I have to admit that I have never bothered to even look at the WP entry for Ledger. However, if it would make the difference between keeping the entry and deleting I would be happy to bring it up to date. I will not comment on Ledger's notability, except to say I believe all the second sources have been cited.Enderw88 (talk) 03:19, 8 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Mark Arsten (talk) 17:52, 13 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep— When listed this article had no sources. That seems to have been rectified now. Vrenator ^talk 09:53, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep It seems from the sources especially http://lwn.net/Articles/501681/ that this might be influential software. I can say only a "weak" keep because I am not competent to actually evaluate the quality of the sourcing here. DGG ( talk ) 20:29, 21 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep— Ledger is used by not only users such as myself, but nonprofits such as (at least) the Software Freedom Conservancy. There's considerable possibility that Ledger may be used as a base for a more streamlined interface for nonprofits given Conservancy's recent campaign. That seems like a reasonable enough reason to me? --Cwebber (talk) 01:51, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
