The only independent sources are trivial mentions. In my searches, I could find only more trivial mentions - various researchers noted that they had used WELSIM, but provided no detail about the program. This doesn't meet either WP:GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE. Previous AFD was in 2017 and was closed early as a G11 speedy. MrOllie (talk) 12:00, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing many other listed FEA software that has no independent sources at all, deleting WELSIM seems lack of fairness. Goeasyon (talk) 12:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

:* Keep: independent academic literatures from various authors sufficiently prove the authenticity of a finite element analysis/simulation software. Reviewing many other listed FEA software, either no independent sources or paid sources. If WELSIM page is deleted, those pages may be supposed to be deleted by first. Here are the far unquantified software if applying the same or lower criteria: Calculix (no independent sources), DIANA FEA (trivial independent sources), Dune (no independent sources), Elmer (no independent sources), FEBio (no independent sources), FEniCS (trivial independent sources), FreeFem++ (no independent sources), GOMA (trivial independent sources), GetFEM++ (no independent sources), SESAM (all failed reference links), Range Software (no independent sources), FreeCAD (FEM source from an individual blog), Advance Design (no sources, no content), Autodesk Simulation (no independent sources), SolidWorks Simulation (no independent sources), Quickfield (no independent sources), Pam Crash (no independent sources), RFEM (no independent sources), SimScale (trivial independent sources, many paid articles from engineering.com), VisualFEA (no independent sources), JMAG (all independent sources failed), SDC Verifier (no independent sources).

*keep After lookup business data, WELSIM and WelSimulation LLC are legit. It is very impressive for a small company being able to develop such a FEA software.

:*:KEEPWELSIM is very good and promising engineering software specialized in very sophisticated numerical simulation of structures, fluids, electro-magnetics and coupled physics. It has a very modern pre and post processing user interface. It has an advanced meshing capability and provides interfaces to various CAD systems. It has a considerable user bases and is growing rapidly. I would like to see Wikipedia can display more information about WELSIM. This will help many WELSIM users and many other engineering software users and developers.

Delete and possibly speedy delete under WP:G11 and salt. The current sourcss barely even mention WELSIM, looking for other sources turns up basically nothing (barely even trivial mentions from unreliable sources), and the page is promotional. TipsyElephant (talk) 02:38, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
