Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of causal mapping software
I did some digging in Google Scholar and proper. It seems like causal mapping software is not mentioned as a group, as  seems to require for inclusion in Wikipedia: {{tq|One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources}}. The wording "one reason" leaves room for ''other'' reasons, which I haven't seen in this discussion, though. Failing the "one criterion" is similar to failing , so that may also be the reason why Causal mapping software doesn't exist. By contrast, diagram software, of which CMS is a subgroup, ''is'' mentioned as a group in a way that satisfies the NLIST criterion, e. g. https://sourceforge.net/software/diagram/ a Source forge software comparison. Therefore, I'd propose we '''rename''' to '''Diagram software''' and '''merge''' in the table in Comparison of network diagram software. ''Diagram software'' should include the merged table, or two tables, and a general discussion of diagram software uses, including networks and causal channels. We shouldn't just make a list since there is no general article yet. We can perhaps use some material from the ''Comparison of network software'' article, but it is entirely unsourced and might need an AfD, too
