AppZapper
This article reads as a thinly veiled ad for what is currently an insignificant product on the Mac. Not every application needs or deserves a WP page. pbones 18:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Keep – The article does read like an advertisement, but after a rewrite I should be kept. AppZapper was reviewed by Macworld a while ago and did get some coverage on other Mac related websites. I don't see why every app shouldn't deserve a page on Wikipedia, I mean, there articles on virtually every little detail, non-notable to some, in the Star Wars movies. A lot of small applications are covered in this encyclopedia, from open source commandline ones to commercial applications, and I think that's a good thing, in regard to completeness, as long as the articles don't read like an advertisement. mensch • t 21:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment This doesn't sound very noteable to me, but I know nothing about macs - it could be. - Blood red sandman 12:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete - Star Wars is viewed and loved by tens of millions of fans. Random Mac applications are not. As for why every application -shouldn't- have a page, my answer would be that VersionTracker and MacUpdate handle this just fine, it's outside of WP's domain for all but the most notable applications (Photoshop, Office, etc.). pbones 06:02, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Comment I tried to rewrite the article to make it sound less like a set of marketing terms. mensch • t 13:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep WHAT!? This is the premier (sp? :[) uninstaller for Macs! Gaaah! How could this be up for deletion? If I were not a regular user of Wikipedia, I probably would have done that blog thing with the "hey everyone go vote keep". O_o M1ss1ontom a rs2k4 (T 20:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep - I've cat'ed and sorted the refs out. Seems fine to me as an encyclopaedia entry. BlueValour 03:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
