Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FreeCodeCamp
At the very least, I think this article should just be marked as "Needs Improvement." I like the comparison to W3Schools here. Its page has 1/3 of its citations to its own website. Currently, as I write this response, there are 16 citations on the freeCodeCamp page with 9/16 citations not having a direct relation to the website itself. In reference to the  page, it poses the question "ask yourself what a reader would expect to find under the same heading in an encyclopedia" as one way to decide if a page should exist. freeCodeCamp arguably has earned its page in an encyclopedia. It has a worldwide presence on the social networking site Meetup_(website)|Meetup (https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ameetup.com+AND+%22free+code+camp%22&oq=site%3Ameetup.com+AND+%22free+code+camp%22&aqs=chrome..69i64j69i57.879j0j9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#q=site:meetup.com+AND+(%22free+code+camp%22+OR+%22freeCodeCamp%22) Google search results for Meetup and freeCodeCamp). As MusikAnimal has mentioned, it is true that websites with technical audiences are the ones that cover freeCodeCamp, including an established podcast (airing since 2009) The Changelog (https://changelog.com/podcast/195 "Free Code Camp with Quincy Larson"). However, web development is becoming a more widely discussed topic to more general audiences (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/quora/this-is-how-far-web-devel_b_14253862.html Huffington Post on web development and http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurencebradford/2016/12/30/the-future-of-web-development-with-gitlab-ceo-sid-sijbrandij/#2a9e8f6f1f01 Forbes article on future of web development). Disclaimer, I have used freeCodeCamp and have not and do not receive any financial benefit from them
