Talk:SWAD (software)

This article was nominated for deletion on 18 May 2013. The result of the discussion was keep.

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because it's about a free software tool (Learning Management System) that has been developed in a prestigious public institution like the University of Granada (Spain), and is used massively by over 80000 users in that university ( http://swad.ugr.es/stat/ ). In addition the tool has transcended from the local to the global, as it is being used in the main university in Paraguay ( http://www.cevuna.una.py/swad/ ) and is freely available to everyone in several languages. --Acanas (talk) 12:55, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"freely available" and "developed in a university" are not valid reasons to keep an article. The only reason is notability and following the Golden Rule. Unless you do that, the article cannot stay. -- Alexf^(talk) 16:34, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As for notability: More than 80,000 users currently. As for independence: one hundred publications (conferences or journals) about SWAD or comparing it to other platforms (see a list in http://openswad.org/paper/ ) --Acanas (talk) 14:14, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have tried to improve the article with references to several publications outside SWAD and the University of Granada. --Acanas (talk) 10:53, 18 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
