I can find no significant independent coverage of the WordPress Foundation itself that is not just coverage of
Wordpress, having searched ProQuest, Google Scholar, and the internet in general. As it does not meet
WP:ORGCRITE independent of its flagship product, the page should be a redirect to
Wordpress. signed, Rosguilltalk 15:46, 18 April 2022 (UTC)reply
The only one of those that has what I would consider significant coverage of the WordPress Foundation is the Torquemag article, which appears to be a semi-crowdsourced site with an unclear relationship to WordPress per its about page
[1]. Even if we were to assume that it is fully independent and reliable, we would need additional articles in other reliable and independent sources providing a similar depth of coverage to demonstrate notability. signed, Rosguilltalk 16:43, 18 April 2022 (UTC)reply
Torquemag is at most relationship to WP Engine, which has no affiliated to the WordPress Foundation (except, of course, they use
WordPress-software, as do thousands of other companies). WP Engine is one of the many companies that offer
hosting service. See here:

...so a bunch of blogs without demonstrable reliability (except for maybe
[2]), that all exclusively cover the Foundation in the context of Wordpress? I'm not seeing a compelling case for splitting. Content about the foundation should be included in a section of
Wordpress based on what you've provided here. N.b. that as far as Torquemag is concerned, the semi-crowdsourced nature is as much, arguably more, of a concern for reliability than its connection to WP directly (see
WP:UGC). signed, Rosguilltalk 14:47, 19 April 2022 (UTC)reply
Redirect, per nomination.
Hey man im josh (
talk) 16:39, 18 April 2022 (UTC)Merge, I think it makes more sense to add it to the Wordpress article under it's own section based on Mebigrouxboy's comment.

The articles (
WordPress and
WordPress Foundation) deal with the topic from different angles (software and organization behind it) and it does not make sense to cover them in one article. Second, the discussion is about deleting the article, not redirecting it. --

Merge to WordPress under a new section, WordPress Foundation. Information in the article is unique, but it is of course undeserving of being an article. However, the information does belong on a page. Therefore, new section.
