Keep - Clearly the nominator has no idea about Arduino and its IDE. - Coriannakox (talk) 18:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC) (Creator of the article)[reply]

*Keep - Somone did not bother to do a book search before nominating this. ~Kvng (talk) 21:59, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep: I actually have this installed. // Timothy :: talk 17:23, 30 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: My main concern here is the WP:CFORK thats going on with Arduino#Software and question how nom's WP:BEFORE did not pick that up or mention it here. Oh .. I notice on article talk page this has copied content from the original Arduino article without really following Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. ( Unbelievably checking Inchicore railway works last night I realized I had plagiarized the the initial version of that myself without fully giving prescribed attribution and was back fixing that).Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Soft delete or redirect or possibly keep. If kept the content fork with Arduino must be resolved, attributions properly given possibly content copied from Arduino. A soft delete appropriate as the IDE may become WP:DUE in the Arduino article (it isn't currently) and because its a different sort of entity in its own category and a sustainable article in its own right is I believe possibly. Using a redirect (to section with with possibilies and categories) isn't really necessary for locating the main article from search but it is useful for categories. Choices are really about how the content fork is handled. Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:43, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect is probably the cleanest way to resolve this. A WP:SPLIT at this time does not appear to be needed. ~Kvng (talk) 13:56, 31 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
