Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Avendesora Password Utility

The issues with the page are reported to be: 1. Does not establish product notability. 2. Primarily promotional in tone. 3. Google search does not find third-party coverage, only its own coverage.

Of these three issues, only the last is fair.

It is a short article that makes a few statements about the distinctiveness of Avendesora. All of those statements are supported by references to the package's documentation. Those statements are informational, not promotional. Meanwhile, a peak at the Wikipedia pages for other password managers finds pages that are promotional, particularly for the proprietary password managers.

The last statement issue raise is fair. Avendesora is new and is a community based program without a marketing team and so does not have much in the way of third-party coverage. However, this is also largely, though not completely, true for the other password managers, and their 'third=party' coverage is largely promotional as well.

While Avendesora is new and so does not have much in third-party coverage, it is also very different from the other password managers and so is inherently noteworthy. The other password managers are monolithic GUI-based programs that are not programmable. Avendesora is a largely CLI-based program that is built on a collection of Unix programs and has a Python API. As such, it seems like it is more worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia than most of the other password managers.
