Unsourced article about a JavaScript library that appears to fail WP:NSOFT. It's my sense that hits like [1] are not about this particular product because "rich Internet application toolkit" appears to be a generic term for a family of products and not specific to this one, but I could be wrong. I considered redirecting to List of JavaScript libraries, but that is a list of libraries with articles and it's specifically described in the lede as a list of notable JavaScript libraries.

Delete Needs more RS, if there is any fails notability. Deathlibrarian (talk) 08:14, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: It has received some coverage in the books & scholar: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8]. The article needs some expansion. However, with reliable sources indicated, it's good enough to pass WP:NSOFT. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 05:20, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Superastig: Thanks for finding those sources! I'm a little confused, though—sources like [9] seem to be about an operating system, and [10] is apparently about a programming language, whereas this article is about a JavaScript library. I am far from a computing expert, but I would think that these are different topics? AleatoryPonderings (talk) 05:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete What these links above seem to be describing is not a Javascript toolkit. Rather multiple research papers are talking about "Rialto is a behavioral description language" that is unrelated to this. Rather this page is pretty much exactly Rialto Toolkit which according to the description has been defunct since 2012. Since none of the links work (and I can't seem to get an archive.org query to even load right now), I don't see how this page won't get deleted along with its duplicate.
