Apache Mobile Filter[edit]

The article fails to establish the notability of its subject as required by WP:GNG. (One lose citation is all it has.) But there is an even more serious issue: It is written like a documentation page too. There is nothing encyclopedic in it. Codename Lisa (talk) 10:06, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2017 June 9. —^{cyberbot I}_{Talk to my owner:Online} 22:48, 9 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. Instead of being encyclopedic, this article is a combination of fancruft and arcana. The subject itself is highly specialized. What is written so far is of no value.
Just a transparency notice: I received the participation invitation directly from the nom. It seems the nom has sent invitations to a number of people, one of them is actually an inclusionist.

Delete: The one ref cited seems to just be a passing mention, doesn't seem to meet WP:GNG. - Ahunt (talk) 16:04, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete: This seems to be one of these pieces of software that's actually quite widely used, but not remarkable enough to attract much reliable source coverage. If you scan all the way to the end, Google only reports a mere 83 non-duplicate results. The best source I found was this book in German which contains at least a few paragraphs about this software (could be pages, but I can't see further in the free preview). There's also at least a passing mention in "apache mobile filter" two "apache+mobile+filter" other books (in addition to the citation in the article), but I wouldn't call it "significant coverage" based on what I've seen. -- intgr [talk] 08:40, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
