The result was Delete - since the ethnic software article was deleted on the grounds it was a non-notable neologism as a child (or at least a relation) of that article this has to fall under that umbrella too. Yomangani talk 11:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Blacksoftware
Non-notable software company. Does not meet guidelines at WP:SOFTWARE. Note that the article is discussing http://www.blacksoftware.com/, owned by the article's creator, so it may meet WP:VANITY. Ethnic software, which it claims to be a form of, is also undergoing an AfD. eaolson 04:35, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Justin Eiler 04:45, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the use of "vanity" is now discouraged. Instead please use "apparent Conflict of interest" per WP:COI Jpe|ob 08:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as per nom. --Brad Beattie (talk) 08:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Change vote to abstain: User:Williammurrell has taken steps to make this a discussion of the concept of "ethnic software," rather than an advertisment for his website. As such, while I am still unsure if the discussion is notable, I will note that it no longer falls under spam or Conflict of interest. Justin Eiler 19:44, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge with ethnic software. There isn't enough here that's notable for an article. --Dhartung | Talk 21:10, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete - article now seems to be in the impossible position of trying to avoid COI charge and addressing the same issues from the deleted ethnic software article. My brief research suggests there is an emerging and notable market for ethnic/black software, but I think a new article would have to started at this point. -Kubigula (ave) 23:23, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
