Not notable. No refs and a search turns up nothing. Not that this is a formal criterion, but a Github project with a single maintainer and no other participants suggests it is largely unknown and unused. JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 04:43, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as it stands though I'm willing to be convinced otherwise - David Gerard (talk) 11:43, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I initially tagged this for speedy deletion as a copyvio and promotional. The article is mostly a copy of the github page. To me, the fact that author links the first words of the article to the page is evidence of promotion -- the article was written not because of notability but as an advertisement for the software, and we are to have every detail on it and every possibility of reaching it, with no concern for explaining why the software is notable. Wikipedia is not a directory of software libraries, but that is how this article is using it. ubiquity (talk) 13:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nothing establishing both independent notability and substance. SwisterTwister talk 03:25, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
