:Keep, page was a bit messy but clearly gen. notable, particularly during the 2002-2012 era spanning most of the cites. I cleaned it up to make this obvious: repeated coverage in trade and national press, recognition for role in popularizing wikis, multiple successful companies. I happen to have created the page in the stone age as a stub which is why I was notified, but had not edited it since. – SJ + 21:18, 24 April 2025 (UTC)
