 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep It's been referenced in a couple of papers. That tiny drop of notability makes me want to give it the benefit of the doubt. MarylandGeoffrey (talk) 02:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Redirect and merge verifiable content into Open_Source_Physics, where it is mentioned. Tracker itself has coverage in several books and papers, , ,. There is probably enough depth for marginal notability, and keep is a reasonable outcome. But if the consensus is that it doesn't reach GNG, there is still plenty of verifiable material. Our policy WP:ATD states that if possible, verifiable material should be preserved, not deleted. In this case, Open Source Physics is a notable project, having won significant awards, and Tracker is one of its main subprojects, so a selective merge and redirect is a reasonable alternative. Outright deletion goes against policy and is the wrong outcome in this instance. -- 03:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge or redirect into Open Source Physics - while the sources fall short of GNG, the content seems generally rescuable and, per, seems a good fit for that target. &mdash; Charles Stewart (talk) 10:20, 14 September 2020 (UTC)
