BitLord

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

A poorly sourced, vaguely spammy, article about a dubious piece of software. The article has been the subject of bickering regrading its factual accuracy and neutrality since it was created, no doubt because of the poor sourcing. I have looked for sources and found nothing other than download sites, blogs, and forum posts. Reyk YO!  20:02, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Redirect (and salt) to Comparison of BitTorrent tracker software. Or merge into BitComet in a new "Clones" section. I would say that BitLord is notable within the community of dedicated torrenters as being an ad-supported "leech" fork of BitComet (whose only users are torrenting noobs who don't know any better), but that there is not independent notability outside that community. (BitComet and BitLord IPs are routinely blacklisted by other torrent peers, and very few people use it for long.) Article is WP:ADMASQ garbage at present. Pax 09:10, 28 February 2015 (UTC)

 * I totally disagree that the article should be removed. The software is very much under it's own development and has not been a clone of BitComet for several years. Pax should have done his research on this point. Regarding the sources, it seems there could have been done more (mostly since i have been editing it lately), but there are several articles i have found when searching jusr now: Best torrent clients of 2015 and BitLord Review As far as i can see the information in the article is correct, so i do not see the problem. But, i am open to discussing how it should be improved. Leiferikb (talk) 12:51, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
