Open Lighting Project

non notable group/project (Probably qualifies for CSD?) Gaijin42 (talk) 16:26, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

What makes Open Lighting Project a non-notable group/project? 1) We've linked to several trade magazines that we are mentioned or featured in. 2) We are also an organization that helps test and write ANSI standards for PLASA that are used worldwide. This is mentioned in the article and sourced as well. 3) We've been selected and participated in Google's Summer of Code for 3 years. Nightrune 17:38 PM 18 May 2015 (UTC)

—Мандичка What specifically does it need more of? or less of? Higher quality links or more third party links? Nightrune
 * Delete: No evidence that this meets WP:GNG. What does this need?  Links to reliable, third-party sources -- media sources, particularly.  Has this project been featured in the tech sections of major newspapers or magazines, or in major industry journals?  What we're seeing instead are blogs, the subject's own sites, and a whole lot of non-qualifying sources.  Nha Trang  Allons! 17:25, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

The Linux Journal article is a decent one. The two LSA ones would be except they aren't about OLP, they are about other products - both have a mere one sentence mention. Find two or three more that are written by 3rd parties in media publications, and that are actually about OLP, and you could get people to change their minds. If they don't exist, then it may be that not enough people have 'noticed' it, which is what our WP:NOTABILITY standard is all about. Gaijin42 (talk) 23:25, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for the pointers I believe there are more third party links we could add, and other articles I know that soon to be published. Nightrune 00:40, 21 May 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete - There might or might not be articles currently in press. The problem is that right now, there is little to work with (WP:CRYSTAL). The only mentions I found are about the OPL being accepted at Google Summer Code. Tigraan (talk) 11:11, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
