Draft talk:LoadGen

I’d like to offer clarification on the Draft:LoadGen article, which was declined due to notability concerns. I appreciate the feedback and would like to provide more context — both on why I created the article and on the availability of independent sources that speak directly to LoadGen’s role in the industry.

I’ve been a hobbyist in the virtualization and load testing space for some time, and I noticed that LoadGen, which has been around since 2005 and is widely used in VDI performance benchmarking, did not yet have a Wikipedia page — despite similar tools like Login VSI being covered. This seemed like a gap, particularly for those researching software testing or performance monitoring tools in enterprise and EUC (End-User Computing) environments. Contributing to Wikipedia has been a long-standing goal of mine, and this seemed like a meaningful way to do so.

In terms of notability, I’ve compiled a number of independent, reliable sources that discuss LoadGen in significant detail:

• A full-length 2006 review by Tim Mangan, hosted on TMurgent (formerly BrianMadden.com), assesses LoadGen's features and capabilities in comparison to Citrix’s own testing tools.
• Multiple technical articles by EUC consultant Ingmar Verheij directly evaluate LoadGen’s components — notably the Analyzer and LoadBot modules — in practical testing scenarios.
• LoadGen has been a featured tool in GO-EUC.com research from 2021 to 2025, where it was used to conduct in-depth system performance evaluations. In these cases, LoadGen is not simply mentioned, but plays a central methodological role in reproducible testing.
• TechTarget’s 2023 article (“6 steps for calculating and sizing a Citrix VDI environment”) explicitly lists LoadGen as a recommended VDI benchmarking solution. This piece was translated and republished in ComputerWeekly.de, adding to its reach.
• Tracxn (2025) and Capterra (2025) list LoadGen in software evaluation portals, supporting its standing within the broader tool ecosystem.

I hope this additional information demonstrates that LoadGen has received sustained, independent, and meaningful coverage within its domain — enough to meet the threshold for notability per WP:N. If the structure or tone of the article could be improved to better reflect that, I’d be grateful for suggestions and happy to make the necessary changes. Moh216 (talk) 12:57, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
