 * Keep – Meets WP:GNG per a review of available sources. Some source examples are listed below. Also, the article does not have a particularly promotional tone. The article does not extol the benefits of the software, use peacock language, or encourage readers to use the software. Rather, it provides an overview about the topic. Also the age of a company or a company's products does not confer to notability. For example, see WP:NTEMP and WP:NEWCOMPANY. North America1000 03:47, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - North America's references look good, and certainly sufficient to establish notability. Fieari (talk) 04:07, 1 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. ~Kvng (talk) 13:31, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - while i am the original author of this article, i find it hijacked by cesenta who do not want to keep it technical. if things like license change and forks can not stay in there, better rename / delete the article and create one which include all forks. wikipedia is not intended to be a personal marketing instrument. --ThurnerRupert (talk) 14:23, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - the webserver is not the object modeling framework or the driver. Are we sure that the sources posted are dealing with this topic?  The last one certainly does not; it's about MongoDB (see here). I'd also point out that the "several pages of content" stuff is "let's get a quicky server up and runnng; how about mongoose?"  It doesn't discuss the product otherwise.   So I'm not sure the significant coverage is a there, especially in "a couple of pages" out of over 100 or possibly much more.

 * Comment – Unless I'm missing something, Mongoose for Application Development appears to be about using Mongoose software for application development and the use of the software in database development, which the article presently does not cover. For example, see the preface of the book, which explains what the book covers in regards to this. For example, the preface states, "... takes a look at the Node.js, MongoDB and Express technology stack and introduces Mongoose and shows where it fits in." Could this book be about a different type of "Mongoose" software? North America1000 08:03, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes it is. That's what I'm trying to point out. "Mongoose the webserver" is not what the book is about, nor the articles. The book you cite is about the object modeling framework I mentioned above. MSJapan (talk) 16:52, 8 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Comment - The above is best worked out on the article's talk page. AfD is not for cleanup. ~Kvng (talk) 14:31, 5 July 2016 (UTC)
 * It's not a cleanup problem - the sources being cited for GNG don't pertain to the article topic. MSJapan (talk) 16:52, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
 * The entire 142 page Mongoose for Application Development does not have to be entirely about the topic. It does contain significant coverage about the topic in some of its pages. North America1000 06:31, 9 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep - Keep the article, but clean it up, and discuss on talk page 220.133.52.238 (talk) 08:41, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
