Courier Mail Server

There is an insufficient amount of independent reliable source material for this topic. The topic is not notable -- Jreferee    t / c  02:52, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete: Per the nomination reason (does not appear to be notable). - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Major MTA used on a large number of linux based server systems. It is hard to find sources that are generally reliable outside the user communities though, so someone with no knowledge about the subject may not recognize any notability. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 08:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone with no knowledge about the subject can still determine whether there is sufficient reliable source material for the topic to meet notability. Courier Mail Server might be important, but if independent reliable sources are not writing about it, then there is nothing to include in the article that would meet Wikipedia's article standards. -- Jreferee    t / c  15:38, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Such a person could, for instance, not tell that Freshmeat is a reliable source for information. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 01:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep: Courier is one of the leading (if not the leading) IMAP servers in use. A web search for "courier imap" will produce oodles of independent references. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 11:25, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - as noted, Courier IMAP is widely used and recognized. A redirect from that to this article would be a good idea, I'll add it if the article is kept. -- BPMullins | Talk 19:02, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
