Computational packages for Cosmologists

Not sure if this article is needed. It appears that most of these software packages already have their own articles. Safiel (talk) 21:44, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. If most of these software packages already have their own articles, then they are presumably notable, and this can become a WP:LIST. -- 101.119.14.237 (talk) 08:46, 24 February 2014 (UTC) — 101.119.14.237 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep It provides a list of software which are notable in the community and are used by many cosmologists. The page can be linked to the cosmology page.128.101.170.117 (talk) 20:16, 25 February 2014 (UTC) — 128.101.170.117 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep. I have created this article to provide a lists of software which are most frequently used by the cosmologists. In wikipedia, there are articles on Physical cosmology and latest cosmology research and observation like WMAP, Planck etc. but there were no article where the software used in cosmology are listed. Similar article exist for other part of physics. Also as mentioned by others many of the software listed in the article have their own articles on wiki and they are notable in the cosmology research community.

 * Keep. We have List of statistical packages, List of numerical analysis software, List of computer simulation software, and other similar lists. Nonetheless, for consistency, the article should be renamed to List of cosmological computation software, or something to that effect. -Anagogist (talk) 16:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)


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

 * Keep per above. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 01:48, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep. A perfectly legitimate list, though I occasionally share the nominator's confusion as to why we have so many lists. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 15:33, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
