:::I think Unicorn *might* be notable, but I really can't say for sure. The fact that Gunicorn is notable, does not, however, offer evidence that Unicorn is. However "notability" for Wkikipedia is not quite the standard English definition, rather it's as defined by [[Wikipedia:Notability]]. And while an essay and not policy, [[Wikipedia:Notability (software)]] is good advice to follow. I'm not an admin, so I can't see the deleted article, but the problem is clear from the PROD notice: the article was unsourced (and that state had persisted for over a year), and the notability of the subject was never established. If those fail to happen, the article will be deleted. If you want the article undeleted and userfied (put into your user space so you can work on it), the deleting admin is the person to ask. Add some references and establish notability (and good references will generally do that), and we can move it back to the main space.

:::: Hmmm, I think thats one of those "I'd like to read it but I don't know enough to write it" topics. Ruby isn't really my thing. [[User:Viam Ferream|Viam Ferream]] ([[User talk:Viam Ferream|talk]]) 10:23, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::{{ping|Viam Ferream}} I created quick stubs to describe the technology stack of popular Ruby web applications like Discourse, Mastodon or Diaspora, and so I covered the [[Mongrel]] successors, including [[Unicorn (web server)]].
::::::For the notability, there are references, books about Ruby or computer science conference papers, strongly indicating Unicorn was used as the preferred web server before [[Puma (web server)]] appears. The stubs are fully sourced.
::::::I'd guess the "weird forking model" is they try to work in a single thread, to avoid any multithreading issues. The popularity seems only a question of usability (they don't ask modification of software or heavy configuration) and performance (benchmarks from Twitter or Deliveroo speaks about requests per seconds). The sources in the Unicorn and Puma article contains some hints about the adoption reasons. --[[User:Dereckson|Dereckson]] ([[User talk:Dereckson|talk]]) 13:04, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
