This article contains -zero- reliable, independent citations that actually mention the article subject. In fact, as far as I can tell nothing in the references section even mentions this software. I've looked and I have found no additional sources aside from the author's own sites and indiscriminate software listings. This does not meet either WP:GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE and should be deleted.

Delete I could find no independent sources for this, beyond a few software listings that provided no indepenent commentary or analysis about the software. Without such sources, even a redirect would have no reference support. Hence, delete. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 02:34, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since there is no clear evidence of TexLab meeting WP:GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE. Almost all sources are actually about other parts of TeX ecosystem and not about TexLab (do not even mention it), those that do are not third-party (so are not considered reliable) or not in-depth.

Delete I also did not find any sources for this article which satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE.

The sources that do exist only mention the software in passing, and do not describe the software specifically beyond a line or two.

Although this isn't directly related to this article, this same user (who is also named as the creator of this software) attempted to promote Neural Lab in Neural network software back in 2008 [1]. I noticed this alongside a string of other people attempting to promote their specific software as well.

It seems to me that the intent of this article, and of Neural Lab is to promote their software, not to add to Wikipedia. Chemeez (talk) 04:26, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
