Chocolatey

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Yet another piece of niche software without any evidence of notability. The refs show that it exists and the the Windows environment in which it operates exists. The others are non-substantive refs in terms of notability. Fails WP:GNG  Velella  Velella Talk 11:33, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Merge with NuGet. I found enough material to support the merger:
 * Of course, it is completely possible that after scrutiny, all of them turn out to be non-encyclopedic.

 * Second merge. – Be..anyone (talk)  23:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep! 1st it's not the same as nuget. 2nd: Beside the citations by @Codename Lisa above, their site states that they've got 3,893 unique packages of which 3,010 are known good. There are 39,672,513 total downloads as of today! asklucas (talk) 19:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment Any good editor in Wikipedia knows that download statistics are worthless. First, there is no Wikipedia policy to account for them. Second, it is rarely possible to translate them into anything meaningful because they are disproportionate to due weight. Consider this: The combination of a small app with an auto-updater and a developer that constantly releases new versions for every change, results in high download counts. But this app could be anything, like a lolcat app. On the other hand, supercomputer operating systems (which might or might not be sizeable) do not receive more than a handful of downloads per version, even though their due weight and impact is more than any other software product in this universe.
