The result was delete. The only "keep" opinion does not address the criteria required for notability as Wikipedia understands it, i.e., coverage in reliable sources. Sandstein 12:37, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pyglet

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable software. Was deprodded with the justification "pyglet is one of the well known 3d toolkits for python (and one of the most known ) , there are quite a few articles about it http://steveasleep.com/pyglettutorial or more recent http://greendalecs.wordpress.com/2012/04/21/3d-programming-in-python-p" but those are blogs/personal web sites, not reliable sources and a search turns up more of the same, while there are none in the article. No indication either why it's notable; just something started then abandoned by one person two years ago which has since not been continued by anyone.

I appreciate your general criticisms, but Pyglet is still under active development (albeit a little short on packaged releases at present). With regards to notability, Pyglet is mentioned by several books (http://www.amazon.com/Python-Multimedia-Beginners-Ninad-Sathaye/dp/1849510164/ and http://www.amazon.com/Hello-Python-Anthony-S-Briggs/dp/1935182080/ for example), and is regularly used to produce entries for short-duration programming contests, such as ludum dare (http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/tag/pyglet/).

Delete as failing WP:GNG. Judging by the amazon pages the books discuss doing things with the software, not necessarily the software itself in a great deal of detail. Stuartyeates (talk) 09:08, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete: I only found a few trivial mentions. SL93 (talk) 21:09, 8 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Pyglet is certainly notable in the Python game/graphics community; make of that what you will. (I'll understand if it's not a weighty argument, but I for one think the article should be kept.) Pyglet is comparable (and a competitor) to Pygame, although Pygame is a full-featured SDL wrapper, whereas Pyglet is more minimalistic; it tends to be the basis of engines (e.g. Cocos2d). Also, I don't think that the last release being two years old counts against it (or for it); I'd always understood that Pyglet is simply stable, not outdated. -- Perey (talk) 13:50, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- PS: It's certainly not abandoned, as evidenced by activity on its source repository. -- Perey (talk) 13:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
