• Keep It's been referenced in a couple of papers. That tiny drop of notability makes me want to give it the benefit of the doubt. MarylandGeoffrey (talk) 02:35, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment in which papers did you see this product being discussed in great depth? Graywalls (talk) 03:07, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect and merge verifiable content into Open_Source_Physics#Sub-projects, where it is mentioned. Tracker itself has coverage in several books and papers [1], [2], [3],[4]. There is probably enough depth for marginal notability, and keep is a reasonable outcome. But if the consensus is that it doesn't reach GNG, there is still plenty of verifiable material. Our policy WP:ATD states that if possible, verifiable material should be preserved, not deleted. In this case,Open Source Physics is a notable project, having won significant awards, and Tracker is one of its main subprojects, so a selective merge and redirect is a reasonable alternative. Outright deletion goes against policy and is the wrong outcome in this instance. --{{u|Mark viking}} {Talk} 03:50, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge or redirect into Open Source Physics - while the sources fall short of GNG, the content seems generally rescuable and, per Mark viking, seems a good fit for that target. — Charles Stewart (talk) 10:20, 14 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
