to FITS#Using FITS files. First of all, a  goes to the nominator for bringing to AfD an article only 12 minutes old and thus ing a relatively new editor. Much better would have been to place a notability or promotional tag on the article and best would have been to contact the editor and discuss your concerns. Regarding the article, AstroPy is fairly new, having been released to the public in July 2013. There seems to be a lot of momentum behind it http://www.stsci.edu/institute/conference/astropy and it will no doubt become notable in time. But for now, there are few publications that mention it. There are primary publications that are reliable sources, such as Astronomy & Astrophysics article, and there are secondary publications that use AstroPy, but don't go in depth about AstroPy itself. Unfortunately, I could not find multiple, in-depth, independent reliable sources to satisfy notability per . However, basic facts about AstroPy are verifiable in reliable sources and per , we should strive to preserve verifiable information. As AstroPy has or will become the canonical python FITS implementation, I suggest merging a short summary to the FITS article section FITS#Using FITS files, where the package is already mentioned. There is no prejudice to recreation when multiple independent reliable sources become available
