Courier (email client)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not notable and contains little if any encyclopedic content. Appears to fail Wikipedia's General notability guideline. FockeWulf FW 190 (talk) 19:32, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I am no Wikipedia guru and cannot reference specific articles or guidelines, but this topic is encyclopedic in that it documents the brief history of an email client that is still used by a following on a Yahoo group (as mentioned in the article). What is the specific concern? Dskirk (talk) 19:44, 28 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete It's true, references about Courier (email client) are hard to find amongst the server and Android apps of the same name. Ten years this article has been wanting references.  Time to clean house. WP:V  Oh, and the link to Rose City is irrelevant and promotional. Rhadow (talk) 00:31, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment The article states Calypso was older name of this E-mail client. There is a review of Calypso in the InfoWorld magazine:
 * There are also reviews of "Calypso Message Center" from the same company (Micro Computer Systems). Probably related, but not the same product:

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment -- Why don't we MOVE this article to Calypso (email client) which will have good references provided by Pavlor? We need to change Calypso DAB as well. Rhadow (talk) 12:42, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I somewhat rewrote the article using sources of variable quality. There are probably more reviews of Calypso in paper magazines of the late 1990s, but these are hard to get online. Pavlor (talk) 11:11, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There are available RS about this application, but not in quantity I would like. Scarcity of online accessible magazine scans plays role there. Development of this application ended during the published magazines era, which explains next to no RS online coverage. Pavlor (talk) 09:28, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
