Are you serious about notability?. It has been covered in Techcrunch, and other tech media, it's a regular participant at Forumcom, and with over 500,000 users there are plenty of articles about them. I am curious to know what is considered an authoritative source? And will others be held to the same standard too?

I will try to add more links for Vanilla that satisfy this "criteria" of notability, but i hope the same "criteria" is applied to competitors...

No reliable source, advertising, not notable enough IMO –ebraminiotalk 09:34, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vanilla is used by over 500,000 users, how is it not notable? I have made modifications, that fix some bias comments, and I think make this deletion request no longer valid. Joey OneTime (talk) 14:30, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We mean in the strict Wikipedia sense of Wikipedia:Notability. Was it ever noticed by someone besides its developers or users? All the sources given seem to be from its own fora, which are clearly not independent. It does seem more long-lasting that the usual two-kids-and-an-app, so might be hope if someone can find some that are independent. W Nowicki (talk) 16:15, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
