ARticle been around since 2005 but only refs are one blog and its own web-site. It looks like a big data-base but size doesn't equal notability and as it stands this fails notability criteria.  Velella  Velella Talk 13:08, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. I found several sources about the software (besides the Gizmodo ref already in the article):
 * MacUser, 1995 Google Books
 * MacWorld, 2001 macworld.com
 * PC Magazine, 2004 Google books pcmag.com
 * PC Magazine, 2005 pcmag.com
 * Creative Mac, 2005 creativemac.com
 * PCWorld, 2009 pcworld.com
 * CNET staff review, 2009 cnet.com
 * "CBG, Comic Base Join to Create World's Most Comprehensive Comics Databases." Comics Buyer's Guide. Aug. 27, 1999, p. 6. (Not found online, but referenced in Comic Books and Comic Strips in the United States Through 2005)
 * "Comic Base 7.0 More Portable Than Ever." Comics Buyer's Guide." Oct. 25 2002, p.42 (Ditto)
 * So it seems there are a fair amount of third-party sources discussing it.-- Brainy J  ~ ✿ ~ ( talk ) 14:34, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm leaning toward keep.  It seems as though it was the first software distributed on Blu Ray, and it's got multiple professional reviews. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 18:19, 12 March 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep - the pcworld ref mentioned above is significant coverage in a reliable source, and along with the other sources, notability is established for this software. Refs should be added to the article. Dialectric (talk) 21:22, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep - Plenty of references here. The article just needs to be improved. -- GentlemanGhost  (converse)  11:56, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
