If you dig a little, the decision to delete the article on MogileFS was made by an editor with "schizoaffective disorder", despite plenty of great argument in favor of keeping the page. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Secret

I also would have voted "delete". Not even the agenda-driven proponents could actually cite solid secondary sources that do more than name-dropping. Most of them seemed to think they were trying to win some kind of popularity contest (do they think bigger numbers matter?) or debate (do they think "we use it, it's great" is verifiable?), not at all what http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:N calls for. And that ad hominem you felt the need to dredge up is telling.

Did you take the time to read the arguments? They cited several books. By the same notability standards you could delete the articles on Ceph and GlusterFS.

Ad hominem or not, my point is that some 20 something year old kid, living at home, suffering from mental issues should not be "the decider". Wikipedia isn't about "the best argument wins" it's about who has the most free time.
