PhpWiki

All sources cited are part of PhpWiki; no independent, reliable sources are given to establish notability. Therefore, the page should be deleted. Oboeboy (talk) 17:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep, if it is true that is was "the first Wiki written in PHP to be publicly released", it makes it a bit notable... But I would not cry if it was deleted... SF007 (talk) 15:05, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Even though it is the first, the article fails to cite any independent sources. If reliable, independent sources can be found, it should be kept. However, as the article currently lacks any such sources, it should be deleted.--Oboeboy (talk) 15:43, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I don't see why being "the first Wiki written in PHP to be publicly released" would confer any automatic notability. What has the language used to write something got to do with notability? Phil Bridger (talk) 20:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment. For web applications, the language used to write them is more important than most other software, as the user must choose a product written in a language supported by his hosting provider, therefore the language becomes a significant element in how the application to use is chosen, with PHP being the most popular choice these days. So, "first wiki in PHP" translates to "first wiki available to use with most hosting providers". I don't think this is much, but it is something, and is suggestive that the software should be notable rather than evidence that it is. JulesH (talk) 09:27, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. There would appear to be plenty of sources available from a Google Books search, but I'm afraid find this topic too boring for me to actually look through them to prove notability conclusively. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:25, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I added a couple of sources. I'm sure there are more to be had. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 05:03, 22 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
