The Bug Genie[edit]

AfDs for this article:
The Bug Genie (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log · Stats)
(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Google results first five pages are mostly directly related to the product and the only good source for confirming notability is http://www.linuxuser.co.uk/tutorials/debug-fix-software-with-help-from-the-bug-genie . Possibly a case of WP:TOOSOON Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:27, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And after nomination I discovered that it had been deleted before and I suspect that there have been no changes to the article since it was deleted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:29, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • delete—not sufficient coverage in reliable sources to meet WP:NSOFT guidelines. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 04:46, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would article http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/bug-tracking-system/ help to avoid deletion of this page (that page is one of the top ones when you search for 'open source issue trackers' on Google, for example)? One more page mentioning The Bug Genie would be http://ernieleseberg.com/5-free-software-php-issue-trackers/ That's at least how I ran into it. (just to make it clear - yes, I did open an account on Wikipedia after finding out about possible removal of this article - in case someone raises this as an issue) Baneazaghal (talk) 11:03, 10 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • Welcome to wikipedia, Baneazaghal! Creating an account to have your say here is exactly the right thing to do. I think both of the sources you mentioned are blogs, and that's a no-go as far as establishing notability. I'd like to see the article be improved to the point where we can keep it, and I'd like to work with you to do that (as you know far more about this product than I do). If you know of any publications that discuss Bug Genie—reviews, comparisons, etc.— that's not written by any of the Bug Genie developers and not on a blog, that would be a huge help. If you want the low-level specifications for what we can use, check out WP:RS and WP:NSOFT. If you see anything else that needs improving, please jump right in.

  • Keep - Notability established by Linux User and Developer article [1], [2] and these other sources: [3], [4], [5]. ~KvnG 21:03, 28 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Seems widespread enough to be notable, per Kvng's links and others. Jackmcbarn (talk) 18:21, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete - the only reliable source that seems to be available is the Linux user article; the rest is blogs and ads. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:25, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Multiple independent reliable sources are not available. KvnG's sources don't provide sufficient coverage or are blogs and therefore not reliable.
Whether it's a useful tool or not is not the issue. There are many useful tools that don't meet notability guidelines. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:36, 4 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
