Talk:Agent Extensibility Protocol

Re: sources

Kvng (talk · contribs) Hi, let's bring the discussion here. Adding poor references makes the article worse; removing them improves it. Therefore, the question is whether these references are usable.

Can you please clarify whether you believe these sources to be reliable, independent, and primary, and whether they meet SIGCOV for the article notability? That is, looking for 4 answers for each cite. I believe these are esoteric research articles. They have a very low number of citations. Additionally, they are not cited correctly. These are cited using google books to the proceedings, instead, the specific article and conference/venue it was published at should be cited.

Summary: The sources used to support the article are mostly esoteric, relatively uncited or not cited research articles, mostly primary sources. Several of them include only passing mentions of the subject. The articles are published in various conference proceedings, none of them in top conferences in networking or artificial intelligence. It is not clear if any of the articles is independent of the subject.
