Does not seem to have established notability. the one  sean  20:59, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi! I simply whish to know in what way it has not established notability? The framework has been around for over a year, has over a thousand downloads and we have close to 8000 views on our website which is mainly documentation intended for developers. In what way can I improve the article to prove notability? Tidyui (talk) 21:56, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

 * To answer Tidyui (talk), the usual way to show notability is to use a citation to a reliable independent source. You might want to read the notability guidelines for example. Often popular software is mentioned in some independent trade publication. Or you could try a combine article on the company as well as the software with which it is associated (even if it does not "own" the software but publishes it as open source). Sometimes local press will cover a company getting funding, building a building, announcing quarterly results, etc. Even sources in other languages (e.g. Swedish) would suffice if a bi-lingual editor could verify that what is said in the article is paraphrased from that source in a neutral manner. Just self-claiming something was downloaded a zillion times is not enough: all sorts of people do that. Someone besides the writer or user of the software needs to care enough to publish something.  Also, using the personal pronouns above might imply that the  Conflict of interest guidelines might apply. Thanks. W Nowicki (talk) 17:51, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete No evidence of notability. (For anyone doing searches, note the false positive of EDO Corporation's Piranha Command Management System.) AllyD (talk) 06:01, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

I added some links to external web publications about the projects. They are however in Swedish. --Tidyui (talk) 15:47, 6 August 2013 (UTC)


 * is a blog post so not necessarily reliable. The other is a good start though some may argue that such a short article does not constitute significant coverage. We need to see significant coverage in multiple reliable sources. Do you have any others to offer? ~KvnG 22:20, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
