• Delete Does not appear to meet software notability or GNG. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 19:10, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: There are numerous open source Java scripts and its non notable tool. TheDreamBoat (talk) 11:15, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: This JavaScript library was featured in quite a few books, some of them published by O'Reilly Media. It does look notable. See [1], [2] [3] [4]. --MarioGom (talk) 08:56, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for those links.

  Frankly, not every topic described in O'Reilly book is notable: O'Reilly frequenty publishes book on technologies that haven't released yet to capture readership. E.g., there are multiple books on PHP6, yet I doubt anyone would consider it notable.

  Also, I fail to see how a stub article about library from 11 years ago could be helpful to anyone. I'll add the books you found to the references in case they could be helpful to someone. 4E616D65 (talk) 10:24, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  PHP is extremely notable, so that was not a great example. Any particular version, incluing the never released PHP6 is subsumed in PHP (see PHP#PHP 6 and Unicode). Being old has nothing to do with notability either. MarioGom (talk) 14:48, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Where is the first nomination for this page? MarioGom (talk) 09:05, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  This article was deleted via PROD in 2008 (so there is no nomination page), according to this:

  https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rico_%28Ajax%29&type=revision&diff=1013189184&oldid=1012637494

  This nomination probably should have been called "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rico (Ajax)" then?

  Next time you can use WP:Twinkle which automates the process and avoids these issues. MarioGom (talk) 13:14, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
