Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fyne (software)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. The consensus would be more compelling if there were more discussion on the quality of the sources, but there is enough input to call it a keep, for the time being. Mojo Hand (talk) 16:02, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

After quick WP:BEFORE I believe this article fails WP:GNG. It is one of programming toolkit, but we are not software catalog, nor StackOverflow. Tymon.r Do you have any questions? 14:42, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies but I am confused - there are 73 similar toolkits listed in the Widget_toolkits category. The page describes a project that is contemporary with a number of those grouped articles and is in fact in greater use than a number of them. Ajwillia.ms (talk) 19:25, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I understand that merely fitting within the existing category of Widget_toolkits is not enough to justify an items inclusion, so I will look at the WP:GNG items directly.
- "Significant coverage": The content of this article was derived from coverage on the internet, in written books and magazines, from podcasts and industry presentations, which I think are all referenced appropriately. For example the "Linux Format" magazine had 4 pages on using the toolkit in their December issue. The "Hands on GUI Application Development in Go" printed book has a chapter dedicated to the topic and uses it as examples of modern toolkit functionality in 3 other chapters. The ChangeLog podcast network reached out to have the episode on Fyne created and have produced follow-on articles (linked) and various items on twitter which are referenced in the article.
- "Reliable": The sources linked comprise books, magazines and podcasts that all hold high editorial integrity. The team behind each will have verified the content before publishing and they can all be readily accessed by interested third parties.
- "Sources": As referenced above the sources come from various different published media, available online and in physical book stores. New mentions of the project are emerging frequently, especially in the conferences and newsletters of the Go language or Linux operating system.
- "Independent of the subject": Whilst I and some of the articles references are related to the project this is a community effort in which many different people are involved and create their own presentations and materials. The inclusion in industry wide magazines (the Linux Format article) as well as programming-language wide newsletters (Go Weekly, also referenced) show that this is a topic of interest far beyond the team involved in it's development.
- "Presumed": In adding content on this topic I looked at how similar (in topic and impact) projects are presented. The growing amount of content on the subject, as well as comparisons with similar Wikipedia entries, led be to believe that this was the correct way to present the topic.

I hope that this helps identify this as a suitable topic for coverage Ajwillia.ms (talk) 13:08, 22 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep: I can't think of any reason this should be marked for deletion. Fyne is relevant and unique and as previously mentioned - UI toolkits have a place on Wikipedia. According to numbers on github and web traffic, as well as prominent open source publications and podcasts, Fyne is often discussed and sought after. I also think Andrew has done a good job of presenting the case of Fyne according to rules and standards that make it clearly not a candidate for deletion.

Keep: The listed sources, particularly those in the Bibliography section, suffice for the subject of this article to pass WP:GNG. Modernponderer (talk) 12:01, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This page passes WP:GNG and I believe takes on a very similar style to how pages such as React (web framework) and Go (programming language) are discussed. This goes far beyond just a "software catalog" listing since there is depth explaining its use cases, design, and criticisms from an objective view. Based on this, I do not see a reason that this page should be marked for deletion, especially considering the recent notoriety it has obtained. Alan Cone (talk) 14:32, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: I'm not sure why this was relisted, except that three of the four Keep !votes above were improperly formatted and didn't have a bold "Keep" at the front. I've fixed the formatting so that it's obvious that there have been four Keep !votes in this discussion. Adding my own Keep for emphasis. :) -- Toughpigs (talk) 19:07, 5 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
