Brakeman (programming tool)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable product. As of this nomination, the sources given don't fulfill WP:N: the product's website, one presentation that was given at a conference, and two cursory events. There are no actual articles that fulfill the notability criteria, and I've not been able to find any that do. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 18:37, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: WP:NORUSH View One. ...creating an article without establishing the basis of the content and its significance is a bad idea. Couldn't find any independent, reliable sources. The sources provided are self-published. Pmresource (talk) 21:59, 29 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Brakeman is currently only existing SCA tool that works on Ruby language and is mature, working tool. It was presented on a number of conferences, including OWASP, LA Ruby etc. It's a mature, free tool that is well recognized in Ruby programmers environment.

Delete - I see no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 16:13, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note that there are now two more independent references and total number of references is now six. Pawel Krawczyk (talk) 09:48, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - You added links to two blogs. Blogs aren't reliable sources. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 12:14, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - You are wrong. Wikipedia:Notability (web) does not prohibit blogs but merely trivial sources, and specifically personal blogs. None of these sites are personal blogs. First one (Fortify) is a corporate blog, respected in security industry. Second one is not a blog but a security news website. Pawel Krawczyk (talk) 17:17, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - Wikipedia:Notability (web) does not apply to this AFD as the brakeman programming tool is not a web site. I'm assuming your are referring to this port, and this post as the two reliable sources. I will note that the first one is copyright Paweł Krawczyk and is in fact a blog. There is no indication of editorial oversight for this site that would indicate that would qualify it a reliable source for notability purposes. The fortify blog also lacks indication of editorial oversight for this site that would indicate that would qualify it a reliable source for notability purposes. - Whpq (talk) 18:00, 3 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Maybe userify. The sources are brief/weak/trivial. Doesn't establish notability. Could be worth keeping if better sources found. Could do with a re-write for a more general audience but that's an editing issue.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
