Traccar

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There are thousands of implementations of this concept, many of them open source. This one is not notable. Nic Roets (talk) 05:43, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

If you agree that this traccar is not notable, then continue to look GPS tracking server. The other 2 (GpsGate and Wialon) may also meet the deletion criteria. -- Nic Roets (talk) 05:57, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand why are you keep deleting open source projects. From free and open source solutions OpenGTS is most popular and has most features, Traccar supports most protocols. If there are "thousands" implementations give me some examples of free systems. People look in Wikipedia for best solutions, and those are the best. If you know better systems, add them to article, why are trying to remove useful information without providing any alternative? --Tananaev (talk) 06:35, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

As for proprietary servers, there is no shortage, but GpsGate and Wialon are universal solutions, they support dozens if not hundreds of different devices. Again, if you know better systems you are welcome to add them, but I doubt that. --Tananaev (talk) 07:09, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

 * You say that "people look in Wikipedia for best solutions". So before we add something to Wikipedia, we should try to confirm that it is in fact the best. One of the best ways to accomplish that is to look what independent experts say. The only people who had anything to say about traccar is you (the author) and your users. -- Nic Roets (talk) 08:21, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Delete unless reliable, independent sources can be found. So far the arguments are WP:ITSUSEFUL. If no suitable sources exist, deletion is required. Chiswick Chap (talk) 17:29, 15 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep, here is independent source for you http://sourceforge.net/directory/?q=gps%20tracking%20server. --Tananaev (talk) 23:26, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * That is not a reliable source. - The Bushranger One ping only 10:48, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
