Notability not established, despite years passing, and now an unregistered user removed the banner I added suggesting deletion. I'm new to this deletion process, not sure if the banner should be put back or not. --mcld (talk) 20:30, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment nomination was malformed (missing step 1). Now fixed - I remain neutral. Dylanfromthenorth (talk) 21:57, 20 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. This software is an important part of the software toolkit of Bayesian statisticians (admittedly a niche topic). The prod notice was removed by an anonymous editor after they added an explanation of its points of difference from the dominant alternative, WinBUGS and its offshoot OpenBUGS.
I could understand a request for better references for this, and I will go work on that now, but this deletion request seems unjustified to me.(Struck my last point - I see citations were requested on the articles's talk page several days ago. I have added a couple.) -- Avenue (talk) 22:36, 21 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
