I can't find that previous entry in the edit history, and the talk page history just has one question about Dolan's jq. Where can I see the background you're talking about?

No indication that this is more than a personal project. Article was created by Jordinas, whose contributions all involve adding links to jq from other pages; COI likely.
- kubanczyk 4y agoThanks for digging this out, because it's an educational example. Surprisingly, this type of moderation is what made Wikipedia thrive. You can be as flabbergasted as I once was about the process. But exactly those "dumb" criteria make the system work. The admin did his job here and probably on twenty more identical deletions the same day.
- ghaff 4y agoThere's definitely a deletionist vs. an inclusionist school. And even if most of us agree that either taken to an extreme is problematic, many of us would also argue about where that line should be drawn. And, in practice, a lot depends on how much has been written about them/it in relative accessible literature or even whether someone at some point cared enough to create an article with good citations.
- cryptonector 4y agoI don't know how to find the talk on the original page and its deletion. All I know is that the editor who deleted it refused to consider all evidence that it wasn't just a personal project, or that it was worthy of a wikipedia page.
