September 2023[edit]

Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

I'd argue that Sourcehut is significantly more relevant than other entries to that list. In fact, I was planning on adding a stand-alone page for it later today. I would also refer you to RFC2119 and its content for it:

> This word, or the adjective "RECOMMENDED", mean that there may exist valid reasons in particular circumstances to ignore a particular item, but the full implications must be understood and carefully weighed before choosing a different course.

I'd also argue that you have not considered the latter part of that definition. (I am not aware that Wikipedia follows RFC2119, but I think it also matches the colloquial understanding of "should". That being said, would it be alright with you if I revert your revert after adding the standalone page?

Kind regards :) Mpldr (talk) 15:24, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
