I have searched extensively, and failed to finds any evidence that this subject comes near to satisfying Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I found a download site which stores Netflix Falcor, blog posts, a page asking for help in developing Netflix Falcor, a page on a website which exists to publicise "Internet-based application programming interfaces", Twitter, YouTube, etc, but nothing like the sort of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources needed.

- Note: The article was nominated for speedy deletion by Anarchyte, on the basis of speedy deletion criteria A7 (no indication of importance) and G11 (promotion). At first, I speedily deleted the article, but on reflection I think that was a mistake: although I agree that there is no indication of significance, it is not about a person, animal, organisation, web content, or an event, and so does not qualify for A7, and although the article seems to be intended to publicise the subject and encourage readers to regard it as useful, it is not so blatantly promotional as to justify a G11 deletion, so I have restored the article and brought it here for discussion.

Regarding to what :@JamesBWatson: have said let me provide big picture of the Falcor.JS. The library is non-profit, open-source project. It has 1700 commits (and a lots of lines of code) to it's GH repo: https://github.com/Netflix/falcor/commits/master , the library is in production on the Netflix's main website and the developers from netflix has open-sourced that library last year. From my perspective, I have googled and didn't find any wikipedia entry on that topic so I added one few days ago. The Falcor Netlix is non-commerce open-source library. About myself: I am a javascript developer, this is my github profile -> https://github.com/przeor/ ... I am NOT ASSOCIATED with Netflix and I use the Falcor.js in my project. I think it may be useful covered this topic of open-source library on Wikipedia as I find this library very useful. Przeor1989 (talk) 12:45, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
- Delete - Per WP:GNG - I found these sources to show notability ([1], [2], [3], primary source), but only three of them are secondary. I'm not seeing enough to assert significant coverage (WP:TOOSOON?). For this reason, I don't believe that it meets WP:GNG. If there are others I missed, or if there's enough others that show significant coverage, please let me know. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:37, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
@Oshwah: On the Too soon page you can read: "A good example of this is Paris Jackson, as seen at this Articles for Deletion discussion: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Paris Katherine Jackson. At the time of the discussion, she had been announced as the star of a film that would be released a year after - however, the film had not actually been released yet. If or when the film is released, and if Jackson is the star of the film, she likely will merit an article, but not until then." This example says, that the film wasn't been released, PLEASE NOTICE that Falcor is over 2 years old, and the Falcor was released in June 2016 - it doesn't look for me too soon (as on the example on Wikipedia:Too Soon), as more and more people will use this technology in their javascript's projects (like me) Przeor1989 (talk) 12:50, 15 February 2016 (UTC) Przeor1989 (talk) 12:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
