Claims to be the 4th most popular web server, but I can't actually find any WP:RS which talk about it. You would think that a web server which supposedly drives 2.9% of the sites on the internet would have tons of stuff written about it. The fact that I can find so little leads me to believe that the reported statistics are dubious. My guess is that most of the sites which use this are parked domains and things like that (but that's just speculation). Lots of mentions in hosting provider how-to documents, but that's not what we need. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/OpenLiteSpeed. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:04, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete – I feel pretty stupid since I've been attempting to maintain this article without actually looking into detail about its notability, but in any case... the software appears to be used almost exclusively by large, commercial web hosting services, and as such there are very little WP:RS that even mention it; any articles about LSWS are apparently published by companies who use the software themselves, or are otherwise connected. So yes, the statistics are likely biased or fudged. Oh well. -- Pingumeister(talk) 14:47, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
