Notability opinion

Weblate claim to be used by over 2,500 libre software projects and companies in over 165 countries. I am aware it is used by significant software projects, and for each project that depends on Weblate there can be many dozens of language translation contributors. An example of a significant user is LibreOffice who support 120 languages across all supported platforms. This, in comparison to the behemoth Microsoft who only support between 30 to 87 languages in Office 365 across all of its supported platforms. I believe it's reasonable to infer that advantages like this over Microsoft are facilitated by Weblate and the quantity of people who use it, this is my reasoning on why I believe it is an article of notability.--12think (talk) 10:57, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Removed the notability flag, as there have been dozens of contributions added in the last 9 years, weblate is used on some of the biggest libre software projects in the world.--12think (talk) 11:30, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No longer relies excessively on references to primary sources

The article refers to 3rd party articles and also many significant users. When considering notability for libre software projects it could be factored in that libre software projects receive less reviews as they do not have budgets to pay for their "reviews"; Therefore, how significant a libre software projects is, is often determined by popularity of its use. The article has been edited showing many users of the libre software project--12think (talk) 11:22, 17 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
