Comment on Open-source wheeled biped robotparent

Does Wikipedia allow content of this type? Aka “here’s some cool stuff I found”?

Or put another way, if you’re more familiar with Wikipedia, can you describe how to think about this type of thing being done on Wikipedia? Thanks.

There's no way you get past the notability / external sources gatekeeper.

This content is suitable for a wiki but not Wikipedia

(And screw Fandom).

There are many pages comparing (free/open-source) software on Wikipedia, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Software_comparisons

The individual entries don't always seem to be super notable. But the notability threshold is also somewhat topic dependent. In my experience in software, it's not as strict as biographies or politically charged issues. In hacker/nerd topics things seem to operate a bit more loosely.
