  This is a 594-word review of TermWiki in a French magazine. It is cited on page 299 of Handbook of Terminology, Volume 1, a John Benjamins Publishing Company book. From Google Translate:
  In itself, the platform is easy to master: you must first create a file in English, then offer equivalences in other languages. However, we have noticed that most of the definitions that are not written in English are translations. ... TermWiki also has an infuriating number of typos as a “first step”. In addition, the tabs and divisions of the site are innumerable, which makes navigation sometimes complicated, and some pages are not translated. ... Unveiled to the public in May 2011 by CSOFT, the free version of TermWiki already has more than 11 million terms in 75 languages and millions of users. So while the terminology tool is still in its infancy, it has potential if the global community

  This is a 368-word review of TermWiki in a Romanian journal article. The review notes:
  In our opinion, Termwiki is a complex cloud-based terminology management tool, a good solution for professionals and enterprises and an excellent training ground for students. It is also a successful online open community of terminologists outstanding activity consists of glossaries in 102 languages, classified in 1 716 categories, and comprising 5 610 207 terms.

  The journal article provides three sentences of coverage of TermWiki: "In the point of view of terminology, the most interesting Wiki project is maybe TermWiki, which is a free, multiple-language, online, collective terminology database. The reason TermWiki is new and interesting is because it combines the features of collective free multiple language dictionaries and features of popular social network sites. TermWiki allows non-professionals, professionals, terminologists and translators to share knowledge, edit pages of terms or create brand new pages."

  The book provides four sentences of coverage about TermWiki. The book notes: "[two sentences about TermWiki] Although the open version of TermWiki presents a vast and interesting collection of layperson-generated term records on a wide range of subjects, it is unclear the extent to which professional terminologists actually consult or make use of this collection. However, TermWiki also offers private, professional versions that could be used internally within an organization by a 'closed crowd' in a manner similar to that of the MTCF described above."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow TermWiki to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
