 * Thanks for posting this here. (I wanted to reply to your original comment on the first AfD discussion, but it was already closed when I saw it.)
 * If you look closely, these two articles are from the same authors published on the same day in the same journal in the same volume (just on different pages). Also, the papers seem to be missing some indication of peer-review present in other papers published in this journal. Based on this, I'm not sure think this research was properly peer-reviewed. I'm not familiar with technicalities of what's relable and what's not and Reliable sources is not particularly helpful in this case.
 * I managed to find some books about on this topic:
 * - "MooTools Essentials" by Aaron Newton, Apress. (Note that Aaron Newton is member of MooTools organization on GitHub and might not count as a releable independent source.)
 * - "Pro JavaScript with MooTools" by Mark J. Obcena, Apress. (Also member of MooTools organization on GitHub, etc.)
 * - "MooTools 1.2" by Jacob Gube and Garrick Cheung, Pack publishing. (Jacob Gube is also member of MooTools organization on GitHub.)
 * Can any of these sources be considered reliable third-party sources?

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:34, 4 May 2021 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: The sources indicated by Northamerica1000 are reliable. And so are the books from Newton, Obcena and Gube & Cheung indicated by the nominator. That said, the article is good enough to pass WP:NSOFT. ASTIG😎  (ICE T • ICE CUBE) 16:00, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
