No sources that establish notability. Skyerise (talk) 14:37, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What is notability?
Why is notability the criteria? May I not delete you, as you are not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.68.82.251 (talk) 14:42, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
General notability on Wikipedia is in-depth coverage in at least two independent sources. Sources affiliated with the product or project do not count toward establishing notability. Skyerise (talk) 14:45, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I ask is because the project clearly meets the criteria of notability. Anyone who understands the topic addressed in the article would agree. It is easy to establish, by examining any of the links which had been presented in the page at time of your spurious and harmful deletion request. Here is a quote from the README included in the source code of the project. since the very first public release in September 1995, SmartEiffel has been used worldwide by increasingly numerous individuals and Universities. Are you insisting that this is incorrect? Or that it is not sufficient to meet the criteria you require?
That is not an independent source. We want coverage in books, academic journals, or reviews. Skyerise (talk) 15:10, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
