~~Speedy keep~~ for failure to state a valid deletion rationale. See comments on the other two deletions created by this nominator today. To the nominator, please stop until you are able to create a well-formed deletion rationale. Oblivy (talk) 12:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Just a basic read of the sources involves awards and PR for the subject, certainly not anything that establishes notability beyond just a circle of map industry blogs and VC smoke-blowing, and purposefully consumer sources aren't going to be found as it's pure backend software the average person will never notice outside a logo watermark in the corner. Nom's rationale was well-understood despite it being boilerplate. Nate • (chatter) 22:51, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per WP:NEXISTS as it has received significant coverage in at least two independent reliable sources:

Also worth noting that although Fleet, Christopher; Pridal, Petr (2012-11-29). "Open source technologies for delivering historical maps online - case studies at the National Library of Scotland". The Journal of the Association of European Research Libraries. 22 (3): 247. doi:10.18352/lq.8052, currently linked in the article, was co-authored by Petr Pridal who created MapTiler as GDAL, it's an article from a peer reviewed library science journal, not PR smoke-blowing circle of map industry blog etc. Oblivy (talk) 14:12, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Oblivy. Aaron Liu (talk) 00:15, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
