I felt tempted to tag this for speedy as "no context" but I believe it is about a piece of software. No evidence of notability. — [[::User:RHaworth|RHaworth]] (talk · contribs) 14:25, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the article's one citation, though from a reliable source, does little more than establish that the subject does, in fact, exist. Sources that establish relevance should be necessary. I know personal knowledge isn't supposed to come into play, but as a Java developer, I'd never heard of this, a certain hint that it might not exactly be common or notable in the java world. i kan reed (talk) 16:16, 28 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As another Java developer, I say keep. JSRs are notable in the tech industry, and adopted by multiple notable frameworks as I've mentioned in the edit summary for removing prod. XQJ is already explained in multiple other articles: this article is an obvious and only reasonable result to appear when searching for XQJ, unless you have suggestions otherwise. Just for your reference, "no context" is for: "Articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article." (see: WP:SPEEDY) The subject of the article, "XQuery API for Java" is as the title suggests. I can't imagine how the subject of the article could be any more blatantly obvious.--Bxj (talk) 07:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- While JSRs are important, it should be a part of every wikipedia article to establish the relevance of the subject. Could you, just unsourced and informally, explain where and to whom xquery might be relevant? Given that information we might be able to stage an article rescue, without it, we've really got nothing more than WP:ITEXISTS here. i kan reed (talk) 12:57, 29 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
