Karate (software)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Promotional article with substantial content additions by username resembling main author. No evidence of notability. No independent third-party WP:RS coverage found in a quick WP:BEFORE - just a few blog posts. The author-resembling username offered a list of blog posts as evidence of notability, but nothing in an independent third-party RS that would cover WP:GNG. An article would need solid sourcing to exist, and there just isn't the evidence that sourcing even exists.

 * Delete Most of the sources listed only trivially mention the software, and the article in general reads like and advertisement. The fact that a good chunk of the content comes from an editor with a COI doesn't help it much either. Material Works  (talk) 16:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete went looking and basically only found glancing coverage that proved this was actually something that existed—nothing significant enough to meet the GNG. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs  talk 18:58, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
