Talk:Notepad+

The link to RogSoft is no longer valid...
 * Working again now, at least most of it is. Some of its links are dead but the software and description is still there. Dsergeant 19:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion?
I am absolutely staggered that someone has added a speedy delete tag to this page..... Notepad+ is one of the oldest Notepad alternatives and has just as much right for an article as all the many other programs listed on List of text editors. It has been pointed out that the RogSoft site seems now to have disappeared. Since the program has not been updated for some years it is fair to assume the developer has now abandoned the software and hence dropped the website. But surely there is still a place for an article on it for historic purposes. As for the suggestion that it is 'blatant advertising' that is clearly nonsense if the company doesn't now exist! I myself originated the article. I have used it for many years but have absolutely no connection with RogSoft or any other company. But I get consistently annoyed with some editors on WK who seem to put these tags on all sorts of articles for no other reason that they want to pick holes. I strongly object to the deletion proposal. Dsergeant 15:11, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yet again somebody has proposed this for deletion. For many years Notepad+ was THE alternative to Notepad, widely used. In recent years other programs have come out and maybe it has been forgotten. For a while the link to the RogSoft site was down, but it is available again. I shall remove the deletion tag in a couple of days if nobody else has commented. Dsergeant 06:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Is there any hard evidence to back this up? Any reliable sources, any indepdendent, third-party, non-trivial sources to prove this?  All I found were forums, download sites, etc. which do not establish notability.  The home page where the creators hosted it does not count as a reliable source. hbdragon88 08:07, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * For Notepad+ and a lot of software from this time, finding web pages that document it will not be simple as the height of its popularity and notability was a time before most people were online and the websites that were around then will have gone through many rewrites and redesigns. For references to show notability this will need to rely on references to books and magazines of the time.--Mendors 09:00, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
