Fails WP:GNG. Not a single WP:RS found even for a redirect Clenpr (talk) 18:01, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment / question - multiple papers on this OS presented at conferences they're by parties associated with its development. I've added them to the article. Can someone tell me if conference papers peer-reviewed? If so, I'm inclined to keep. If not, I'm inclined to delete. One of the papers is cited 51 times; I only looked at a sample but I saw passing mentions typically of a paragraph. --A. B. (talkcontribsglobal count) 02:51, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @A. B.: If they are leading academics in that subject (easy to verify by published work, monographs for example ) or known as established leaders (easy to verify by prior publishing history) in that subject meeting in conference, then any papers they produce will be WP:SECONDARY coverage. However, lots of folk go to conferences and produce papers that are rank and are generally primary and/or useless. A citation count of 51 is far too low in any instance to count. Passing mentions are just that. They don't count for anything. There is no depth to them. Hope that helps. scope_creepTalk 14:30, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
