Bible App

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Recently released app for Apple Mac. No evidence of notability. &mdash; RHaworth 12:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

 * weak delete I don't see evidence of notability. This isn't a FLOSS fork that will have thousands of downloads as soon as source code is available. As a proprietary program, there is nothing to piggyback on, that would drive sales, marketshare, or notability. (If Deseret Books sold it, it might be notable.) In terms of reviews, there is nothing other than PR fluff. (Not even a mention of this app on catholic web forums). The software vendor is all but unknown. Their sponsor is equally unknown in its area. This isn't the first Bible study program for the Mac. It isn't even the first Catholic Biblical software for the Mac. It doesn't offer any features that are not available with current Mac Bible Software. Being the first app in a new category in a new app store for an old product does not make for notability. If this software causes Apple to change the rules about "acceptable content", the way Bible Navigator X did for X Box Live acceptable game play content, then the program might be notable. I don't want to delete the article, but I don't see any compelling reason to include this article. p (talk) 15:52, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

What would be an evidence of notability? I see your point, but then please review the other softwares listed here that have a wikipedia page and tell me why they are different, or more notable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_software#Mac_OS_X ... Just because they had a few years to build up and therefore have a much greater user base? The app has no mentions out there because it is really new. This page is not going to do a lot for the app marketing, and I'm fine if you decide to remove it. I'll come back to place a page in wikipedia once the app gets "notable" enough, in a few months, if you prefer :) I'm not going to take an offense for this and I see you are very objective in your evaluations. Actually I'm loving how difficult it is to add anything that could eventually be considered "ambiguous" by some people on wikipedia. Perhaps I should do like Logos Software did, put a mention in the main article and then create a page about the entity that created the software -- does that make more sense to you?

 * Most articles linked from Biblical software usually do cover both the organization, and the software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(software), and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Software_notability are rough guidelines on what is required. Perhaps there should be more specific guidelines, either official, or unofficial, on what makes a specific Bible Study Program notable.Bible Navigator X is one example of probably notable Biblical Software that does not have a wiki article. (It triggered several changes in the acceptable game play content guidelines used by Microsoft. Changes that migrated into the guidelines used by Nintendo and Sony. It was the first Bible Study program on a game console. It was also the first Bible Study program on a game console to be banned, and then unbanned.) p (talk) 17:19, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
