DroidMsg

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There is no evidence that this app satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines. The only source cited in the article is one review on a site called "The App Magazine", which does not appear to be very significant. (Also, the App magazine certainly includes paid-for features. It is not clear to me whether all of its content is paid advertising. Amongst other things, the site offers to publish a "Professionally Written and Featured App Review" for a fee of $100. However, even if it is not advertising, this one review in a not particularly notable source is not enough to establish notability.) The first few hits on a Google search for Droidmsg include www.droidmsg.com, download sites providing DroidMsg, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc etc, but nothing remotely resembling an independent reliable source. The article was deleted by PROD, and then restored after a request for deletion which gave as the reason "This page shouldn't be deleted because it is a free dating site", which is not a reason for non-deletion by Wikipedia standards. (The request for undeletion came from a single-purpose account with no edits not relating to DroidMsg. The creation of the article was by a similar single purpose account.)

 * Delete One review itself written in semi-PRspeak does not amount to in-depth coverage and I am finding nothing better. AllyD (talk) 14:46, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
