Proposed deletion[edit]

Dear noq, thanks for your review/feedback. I propose to let this article live article because it is not just a pet project but a tool that some people already use. Here's an example of notability (IMHO): https://stackoverflow.com/search?q=tig (currently I see 759 search results). // VictorYarema (talk) 13:58, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

User:VictorYarema. Please read WP:NSOFT and explain how you think it meets those guidelines? Also, please read WP:reliable sources and WP:significant coverage - Stackoverflow does not qualify as either. noq (talk) 15:55, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As you will note, I added a couple of sources after your prod. The software is well known in the Git community and those sources provide verifiability for the current content and then some. I don't know if it quite enough coverage for notability; reasonable editors can disagree on this. A compromise solution would be to merge it to Comparison_of_Git_GUIs#Desktop_operating_systems where other Git clients are listed. Per out WP policy WP:ATD, for verifiable information, merging verifiable content is preferred to deletion. Or if such a compromise is disagreeable, taking it AfD is another alternative. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 18:29, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what would be worth adding to the comparison page that is not already there. This article is little more than an indication of its existence. noq (talk) 12:53, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The source at the comparison page is primary, but both refs I added are secondary and independent. Adding either one would be an improvement. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 13:18, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
