Evidence of notability in Scholar search. ~Kvng (talk) 21:48, 28 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I saw those sources, but the problem is that they look too much like WP:PRIMARY stuff. Still, given that related articles seemed to have been compiled into at least one book ([1]), I guess we can wait for a third opinion. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 06:07, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Based on a simple WP:BEFORE style search using the sources template above, I was able to find multiple RS for the article. I added 6 of them, of which 5 are in some depth (at least a page of material), all seem peer reviewed, and all see secondary in the sense that they did not direct involve the authors of the RFC documents. I also added the other RFCs that are relevant to the protocol. I think this establishes notability per WP:GNG. The article could use some expansion based on those sources--transaction types, the agents involved, concepts behind the protocol and and relation to other protocols. But I will leave it as is for now. --Mark viking (talk) 20:49, 29 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
