Comparison of CAD, CAM and CAE file viewers

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is just a directory therefore it ought to be deleted per WP:NOTDIR. Moreover, there are no references to assert notability. The references provided merely supply support for various details for each entry. Wizard191 (talk) 02:04, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Maybe this list should be an Annex, instead of an article. In any case, I would keep it because:
 * It is more than a simple directory, as it includes columns with technical specs for each software.
 * Wikpedia has other articles or annexes which are lists of software products, and we are not deleting them. --Jordiferrer (talk) 12:59, 16 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep as this is a list article that is not even close to being unique on Wikipedia. —  f c s u p e r ( How's That?, That's How! ) (Exclusionistic Immediatist ) — 05:36, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
