I can't find any reliable sources that cover this software. Three of the sources on the article are primary, and the fourth is written by Mihai Marinof, whose credentials are unknown. HyperAccelerated (talk) 01:22, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep, it seems somewhat notable enough to warrant inclusion. Wouldn't be opposed to draftify/merge. Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 01:38, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: What establishes notability here? "Somewhat notable enough" isn't persuasive. If the article doesn't meet notability guidelines, it shouldn't be kept. HyperAccelerated (talk) 01:41, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

After re-reading WP:NSOFTWARE, I'll change my !vote to Weak Delete, as per Marquisate. Still would not be opposed to draftify. Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 12:08, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete per our software notability guidelines. The Marinof source is the only one that appears to satisfy any of the available criteria for inclusion. Not overly enthusiastic about recommending deletion, given the evident significance of the software from a quick Google search, but nothing seems to exist that satisfies our guidelines and moreover, nothing beyond the one article comes close to providing a substantive, reliable-source discussion of the topic.
