Nominating on behalf of 86.23.109.101 (talk). Their rationale is as follows:

I am really struggling to see how this wikitext parser is notable. The page has been tagged as being of questionable notability and using primary sources since 2011, so I think it's about time it went to AFD.
There doesn't seem to be a single source in the article that demonstrates third party coverage of this software. Citations 1, 2 and 3 are links to the software's own website. Citation 4 is an announcement that the authors of the software will be presenting it at a conference. Citations 5, 7, 10 and 11 are papers written by the authors of Sweble. Citation 6 is a dead link to what seems to have been an open source community page? Citations 8 and 9 are pages on the mediawiki wiki, unusable as sources.
A few google searches failed to turn up anything usable, mostly software repositories and the papers written by the software's authors. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 11:01, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Delete. Little to no independent, reliable coverage. The top Google Scholar hits are student theses from advisees of the software creators. Eluchil404 (talk) 01:31, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
