AVERT (software)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable software product with a very limited market and no showing of historical, technical, or cultural importance. Contested proposed deletion. Part of a walled garden of promotional articles (see ARES Corporation, Articles for deletion/PRISM (Project Management Software)). Referenced only to in-house sites, and Google News yields no helpful results. No indication that this software product "has had any significant or demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education."

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions.
 * Did you even look at the references? Because they are not all to in-house sites. Additionally, A lack of Gnews coverage is not a requirement of notability by Wikipedia. Additionally, these articles are not promotional in nature. I felt that the software had enough information to have their own articles. Bsanders246 (talk) 16:12, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * A link to the publisher's website, ARES Corporation: internal. A press release based story about the purchase of the product by the US Department of Defense: internal, as well as routine, and from an online trade website with small readership.  A press release announcing a new version: internal.  Yes, I looked at your sources, and looked for more myself, and came up with nothing that indicates that this product has the kind of long term historical interest to rate an article. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:22, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * What on earth is a "press release based story"? That is a news article releasted by the Department of Defense. ARES Corporation does not own the Department of Defense and did not write that article. That is an external link and verifiable of it's notability. Bsanders246 (talk) 16:25, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The Department of Defense buys thousands of products every day. Simply being awarded a defense contract does not elevate a business or its product to historic significance. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:39, 21 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete No sources, no valid assertion of notability. 2 says you, says two 01:48, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, no notability, no sources, and apparently part of a series by this editor to promote the products of ARES Corporation. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:51, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
