User:DGG can you please explain what you mean by "no evidence at all for any notability"? MagLev is highly notable, as it is the only Ruby implementation that has object persistence built in. Jessecooke (talk) 05:33, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I can guess at one. Google News shows no relevant stories for "maglev ruby". It has few references, mostly in niche places like Ruby blogs and conference notes. I'm a fan of Ruby and the development around it, but I think MagLev hasn't taken off enough yet to fulfill the notability requirements. Tuvok[T@lk/Improve] 05:27, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have to disagree. On Wednesday the maintainer of JRuby stated both that "[he sees] MagLev as a brother to JRuby"[1] and that he envies MagLev's object persistence[2]. Also, students at the Hasso Plattner Institute are actively choosing to work on MagLev to support enough 1.9.3 to run Rails 4 as part of their school project[3]. MagLev is unique among Ruby implementations, therefore inherently notable. While it may not be in wide usage, it still deserves to have a Wikipedia page.

Also, while I am an occasional committer to MagLev, I am not a core contributor. I don't get paid to work on it like Alan & Peter did (Tim was a visiting contributor last summer) so the article is not self-published. I'm new to editing on WP so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Jessecooke (talk) 05:45, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
