Arora (web browser)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No assertion of notability or any third-party in-depth review. This article was used in an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS edit summary to support notability of Dooble during its AfD. Article has been translated into numerous other wiki-languages, but none of them are any better...really literally translated, with no additional info or WP:RS.

 * Delete in the absence of reliably-published third-party press concerning this product. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:WEB, no assertion of notability, all the stuff I saw was web fora and blogs. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 11:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable light-weight browser. Also see here. SkyBonTalk/Contributions 20:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Are any of those actual in-depth secondary/teriary-source reports? I spot-checked and the non-primary-refs I saw were only blogs ("mentioned in lots of random blogs" doesn't together make a reliable source--need one that is renowned enough to carry weight) and directory-style lists (inclusion in various distros just means one person cares enough to write the package). DMacks (talk) 21:01, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Reviewing them, I agree that they look like web fora and blogs, I didn't see anything that represented a reliable, secondary source (and a couple were dead). Notability must be demonstrated, not asserted.  What specific link(s) on that page is/are the reliable, independent, secondary source(s) that are required to demonstrate and pass WP:N?

 * Delete: All that I can find is trivial mentions. Fails WP:N. Joe Chill (talk) 15:21, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Arora is just starting to get known. It is about as known as the Midori browser (Midori_(web_browser)) which is not up for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.70.11.220 (talk) 14:17, 2 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Deletion is premature, particularly given recent interest in the browser as a lighter-weight alternative. Most mentions are in tech or productivity blogs like Lifehacker and DownloadSquad, but those sites have considerable readership. The article needs work, but deletion is inappropriate at this time.

 * Keep. As this is an upcoming engine with potential, it would be usefull to keep. Nevertheless the artikle realy needs a bit of work as of supported web standards. - 84.61.15.205 (talk) 02:55, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
