General Discussion • Goanna article in EN Wikipedia has been nominated for deletion
Article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goanna_(software) AfD nom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia ... (software)
It seems that Wikipedia's notability guidelines could threaten the existence of a standalone article for the Goanna engine. It'd be a shame if the article itself doesn't survive; I fear that it will lead to a downward spiral where not being an independent article means less chances of getting the browser engine covered by secondary sources considered acceptable by Wikipedia. If you would like to help getting the article to be kept you could try searching for secondary sources that significantly covers the engine (like the German article linked in the "keep" comment). If the source is a blog post, it's likely it won't be considered reliable, unless you can prove that the author is an independent (i.e. not heavily involved in Goanna's development) established subject-matter expert.
Worst-case scenario, the article is replaced by a redirect to the Pale Moon article with relevant information merged to the latter. It's certainly better than deletion, but it's not a good sign of things to come. It would affect the first page of search engine results for example which tends to favor showing a featured excerpt from Wikipedia.
