Appears to fail the notability, reliable sources and verifiability tests. Nothing suggests it introduced any breakthrough technology or in any way contribute to the development of the gopher protocol or gopherspace, all that we can see is that it is another run-of-the-mill gopher server. The only secondary source mentions it in passing, merely confirming its existence. Good faith search failed to find any other references. The article merely repeats the information already present in gopher (protocol) § Server software. The article was nominated for proposed deletion but the nomination was contested.

I support deleting the PyGopherd article. As mentioned it appears to lack notability, as well as the other mentioned issues. zcrayfish (talk) 02:52, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to gopher (protocol) § Server software. This article regularly gets up to 5 views a day, perhaps we should redirect it to the main Gopher article for user convenience. Anton.bersh (talk) 05:51, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to gopher (protocol) § Server software. Basic facts are verifiable and this is a plausible search term. Redirect is an obvious alternative to deletion, and per our policy WP:ATD, for verifiable material, such alternatives are preferred over deletion. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 14:56, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • WP:BLANKANDREDIRECT redirect sounds reasonable, I'm OK with it. 84.69.182.103 (talk) 20:04, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • Simple redirects usually blank the content of the article page. If you meant "delete and then create a redirect", that is usually only done in cases where there is harmful material, such as copyright violations or BLP violations. Unless I am missing a such a problem, I don't think that is the case here, so a simple redirect should suffice. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 22:50, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • You're right, I misunderstood the idea. Obviously, no blanking permanent hiding of the existing content is necessary. 84.69.182.103 (talk) 11:32, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
