As indicated in the comments attached to my edits, SAMSON now (2021) has thousands of registered users in over 100 countries, and is used worldwide for molecular modeling in numerous domains, including life sciences, materials science and drug design, etc., as evidenced by independent academic references mentioned in the SAMSON page, including for example:

mentions in news sites:

https://www.macinchem.org/search/?cx=partner-pub-4009912495867492%3A7313141114&cof=FORID%3A11&ie=UTF-8&q=samson

mentions in products updates of independent software, e.g:

https://kb.parallels.com/en/125053

usage in molecular modeling tutorials, e.g.:

https://proteopedia.org/wiki/index.php/Sculpting_protein_conformations

etc.

I note that Google Scholar appears to be one notability criteria in the added tag, since GS is precisely one of the ways that WP suggests to assess notability.

Since I should not edit the SAMSON page due to a COI (the platform was started in 2008 in my research group at Inria, and I'm now CEO at OneAngstrom, the company that commercializes SAMSON), and as suggested by general WP guidelines regarding COIs, I thus propose that other users review the notability warning and consider it for removal, due to the elements indicated above.
