Keep. Its use in other applications indicates some amount of notability. Ignatz mice•talk 05:50, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Would you mind elaborating on this point please? What use specifically in what other applications indicates notability to you and how? I believe that ordinarily notability is determined based upon how much non-trivial coverage the subject has received in reliable third party publications. As of right now that number is zero, so I'm having difficulty accepting your supporting comment at face value. AMFMUHFVHF90922 (talk) 18:35, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for failing WP:GNG. Qworty (talk) 02:43, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. RS mention of the project's announcement here. Substantial source with interviews with key project members here. Brief mention in better known source here. JulesH (talk) 19:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment While I won't take any sort of stand in the matter. I feel that it is worthy to point out that as a random passerby, I happen to know of the Tango project. Its not mentioned a lot in publications, but it is mentioned a ton in credits for software. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zellfaze (talk • contribs) 12:42, 3 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or Merge with freedesktop.org which hosts the project. This notable as a free software project, per the references both in the article and mentioned by JulesH, but it may not merit an article on its own. Steven Walling • talk 23:36, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete GNG requests "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". The latter of the the three is met with sources provided here, but they are not reliable. Also, most are not significant coverage. Fails GNG. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:54, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
