: The talk page was created as the PROD was removed, which is a normal way to respond to a PROD. But it has nothing to support an assertion of notability. The 'references' are almost all links to Wikipedia which cannot be used as a source, except for a link to Google's documentation and to the company's web site, neither of which is a reliable secondary source. Checking 'what links here' almost none of the linked articles link to this one, which suggests that GEOS is not a significant component of them. I don't doubt it is used, perhaps even widely used, but it needs reliable sources saying so, and covering it in some depth.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 00:04, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
uhh - these comments are filled with apparently "wikipedia legalese" which I do not know.. however, I gather that the reviewer wants references from outside of WIkipedia.. I can supply those.. I (apparently mistakenly) thought that links to already-substantiated articles would mean something.. ok.. btw- the total number of desktop software users, for whom this library is .. how shall we say .. the definition of all geometry handling .. is greater than 100,000 users each month.. maybe not a big number for a twitter account, but a very very big number for serious science computation applications.. -- BrianMHamlin <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/142.254.111.87|142.254.111.87]] ([[User talk:142.254.111.87|talk]]) 21:01, 5 June 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->{
:Number of users is irrelevant. I mean Windows is used by tens or hundreds of millions of people, includes many libraries, but we don't have articles for all or even most libraries in Windows. Only the ones that are independently notable, as they meet the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]]. So yes, if you have some good quality, in depth and independent sources then please add them to the article and use them to expand it.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 02:20, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

: perhaps merge with [[JTS Topology Suite]] ? [[User:GangofOne|GangofOne]] ([[User talk:GangofOne|talk]]) 07:26, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
yes, I can compromise.. adding this as a section to JTS seems fair.. I will discuss with colleagues BrianMHamlin 08 June 15 <small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/50.174.127.109|50.174.127.109]] ([[User talk:50.174.127.109|talk]]) 16:06, 8 June 2015 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:Unsigned IP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

I have started editing the JTS page to include GEOS information. As agreed in the compromise (above), this GEOS page can be phased out after those edits are stable. -- BrianMHamlin
