Apache Airavata

 * – ( View AfD View log )

No asserted notability in this unreferenced article. Fails WP:GNG. I have previously nominated the article for CSD, but was declined with the reason "csd does not apply to products, software, etc". B music  ian  11:49, 15 February 2012 (UTC)


 *  Keep Merge and Redirect to Apache Incubator. I've rewritten the article and added citations. Airavata is a notable software framework of reputable (open-source, non-commercial) build by the Apache Software Foundation, with clients in its initial market being universities and research institutions. There seem to be plenty of available sources out there if the one's I've added aren't enough. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:28, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Merge to Apache Software Foundation with redirect: The sources in the article are unacceptable at all: the paper by the authors (one with DOI), the speculations on a future product and three home sites. I failed to find the good sources in the wild, as books and news know nothing on the topic, scholar yields three sources for Apache (primary) and another one with passing mention; and most of web search results are either tied to ApacheCon or Universities' groups and departments – all being primary sources for the topic. (Though I stopped researching when the tourism-related results started prevailing.) This is actually a tricky thing, as this software is a successor of another software, and it is easier to find someone who didn't develop it. Still, the notability is not inherited. I'm not entirely sure whether it is WP:TOOSOON or permanent, but no indication of notability is available for me. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 02:36, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, you're right, I was misled by Google telling gentle fibs about how many more sources there were - my nose was too close to the grindstone to see very far. The keyword is "incubation" - this is an early-stage project and ASF have presumably been self-publicising rather too hard here. It's likely TOOSOON for a full article so I've changed my !vote to Merge. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:01, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * As I got it, incubator is a genre of this software, not its current stage with ASF. Though you are right about merging. &mdash; Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 16:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I think if you look here you'll probably agree it's an early-stage job, but it doesn't matter. Chiswick Chap (talk) 16:34, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Merge any valid, referenced information to Apache Incubator, since Apache Airavata is an effort undergoing incubation at Apache Software Foundation. Northamerica1000(talk) 20:39, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
