It's hard to interpret some of the comments here but I don't think I see any editor arguing for "Keep" Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:44, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Article does not cite any independent sources (except the Progopedia, which doesn't even mention GoJS). I was unable to find any myself. jlwoodwa (talk) 15:30, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Progopedia mentions Northwoods (which doesn't deserve its own article).

GoJS is mentioned elsewhere, such as on modeling-languages.com:

https://modeling-languages.com/gojs-javascript-library-build-diagrams/

https://modeling-languages.com/javascript-drawing-libraries-diagrams/

And others have written about it from a business use-cases perspective, eg:

It's not enough for it to mention something associated with GoJS; notability is not inherited. The modeling-languages.com article describes it as our software, which strongly implies that it is not strictly independent. The ebook might be a satisfactory source (as described in WP:NCORP); I can take a closer look at it later. jlwoodwa (talk) 15:43, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

On another webpage, Synergy Codes describes nwoods.com as our partner's website. This strongly implies that an ebook published by Synergy Codes would not be strictly independent. jlwoodwa (talk) 16:39, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

They are a consultant shop and advertise GoJS expertise - the book being essentially an ad about their knowledge - but do note they also advertise expertise in direct GoJS competitors:

https://www.synergycodes.com/react-flow (note also the same "React Flow-certified Partner")

In case it's helpful, an example of the two (GoJS and react-flow) being competitors in the wild: https://www.reddit.com/r/Frontend/comments/u8v1w5/trying_to_create_a_tool_similar_to_this_image/ Simonsarris (talk) 01:51, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no article on react-flow, is there? So why on GoJS? IgelRM (talk) 17:18, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete Both Northwoods Software and Sanscript look more established than GoJS, no reliable sources here. IgelRM (talk) 17:07, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
