Proposed deletion of HomerHEVC


The article HomerHEVC has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Seems to be non-notable software. Virtually no Google coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Largo Plazo (talk) 10:20, 1 April 2014 (UTC)


 * Maybe the software is not (yet) notable. It had been recentrly released, but it's software freely available to the community, and implements a standard which is both notable and patent-covered. The community deserves to have access to every software alternative. Only one non-wikipedia Google entry for it... it's that a suitable criterium for notability? Wikipedia claims to be neutral and without firm rules, but Google doesn't. It's a bit contradictory to use the non-neutral Google to test an article. Anyway, the release of a new free (libre) HEVC encoder is a notable thing, maybe not for Google, but for the video encoding developer community, and finally to the rest of the community (as users).Elbarak (talk) 10:47, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
