Non-notable stellar dynamics toolkit. No coverage beyond a couple papers and a brief mention in a 1997 book. Note: the article was also started by one of the toolkit's co-creators. Sgubaldo (talk) 17:35, 23 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Piet Hut: This software is used or mentioned in hundreds of independent publications, although none of them appear to discuss the software in detail. It should be discussed in some article even though it doesn't satisfy notability guidelines. I would seriously consider revising the guidelines to allow articles like this to be kept, similar to how WP:NMEDIA and WP:NPERIODICAL have a criterion for publications that are widely cited by other reliable sources, but that is a discussion for a different time.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

To clarify, by "merge" I mean adding a single sentence to Piet Hut. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 00:55, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support merge – Per Helpful Raccoon. The relevant content can be migrated to a new section. Svartner (talk) 01:15, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
