Fails WP:GNG. No mention of the software outside primary sources created by the original developer. The software is not open source(yet) to determine its popularity. And the original developer of the software seems to be the one who created the wiki page. That's promotion. Daiyusha (talk) 04:36, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
Contributor's response: Thank you for being so alert and making me aware of this "promotion" aspect. I now (believe to) better understand the criterion: until Linny-R is acknowledged as useful free software in a wider range of (scientific) publications, it should not have its entry on Wikipedia. I therefore concur with Daiyusha that the article should be removed. I will not recreate the page until the criterion is met. I apologize for the inconvenience.
