Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (Macdvd) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent http://www.macdvdripperpro.com. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 17:59, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Notability of software
I notice that you removed the proposed deletion tag from Mac DVDRipper Pro, stating: "recently added link to notable review in reputable magazine MacWorld"

The specific guideline states:
 * Software that is just another entry in a crowded field will need more persuasively significant sources, of a kind that indicate that it stands out from the crowd. Notability of one package does not automatically mean that each of its competitors are notable as well.

It seems to me that the review in question does not indicate that this product stands out from the crowd of DVD ripping software available for the Mac OS, and in fact, it rather pales in comparison to some of its better competitors. As it is likely (from your username) that you are the author or vendor of this software, your opinion of its notability might be skewed. Can you provide any reliable sources to indicate that this software rises above its competitors? WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:07, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
