Software trustworthiness

 * – ( View AfD View log )

An editor mentioned on the talk page that this is no different than the article Fault tolerance. I also wouldn't recommend a redirect because I doubt many people would search for such a term on Wikipedia. SL93 (talk) 21:04, 23 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete in its present state, but with no prejudice against re-creation with proper sources. My impression is that this was originally created as a way to spam some references (to papers published in unreliable predatory journals) into Wikipedia. I removed those references as unreliable three years ago, and that has left the article unreferenced and neglected since then. But a Google scholar search for "software trustworthiness" finds many acceptable-looking sources and over 1500 hits, starting with "A survey on open source software trustworthiness" in IEEE Software 2011. If someone wants to take the effort to rewrite the article based on these sources, in a way that also distinguishes this concept from fault tolerance, I would have no objection. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete there is no information on the page. No references, no notability. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Footlessmouse (talk) 23:29, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
