[edit] Bare XML

Being listed on CPAN isnt enough. No reliable independent coverage has been provided, and I cant find any. John Vandenberg 05:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC) John Vandenberg 05:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

An RPM of the module is distributed on the OpenSUSE 10.3 DVD. Also, you have to realize that it isn't just on CPAN, it is listed in the main CPAN index; there is an approval process for that.

Also, consider that this is a new module. The entire engine was written within the last year. The reason it has not yet been rated alongside other modules by independent sources is just because of the short age, not because of the notability.

The module itself has the same capabilities as XML::Simple, yet is 100X faster. That may not be something someone wrote an article on yet, but it is only a matter of time until it happens.

If you do take the page down, it is just a personal opinion on whether you consider OpenSUSE and CPAN notable. Those ARE independent parties, and so do meet notability requirements as I read them.

Continuing, there is high relevance to a number of other articles on wikipedia, such as the various types of XML, and the smaller XML languages that this is targetted toward.

  • Delete. The article is barely there and does not assert notability. Vegaswikian 03:29, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not Freshmeat and has no chance to cover up-to-date details of the quickly changing world of open source projects. Pavel Vozenilek 12:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
