Ecto (software)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Tagged for speedy under CSD A7 and refuted with "hangon"tag. This is a procedural nomination for discussion by the community and to allow time for editors to consider improving the article. -- VS talk 11:10, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep (as author) First of all, as I noted on Talk:Ecto (software), the article was not eligible for SD under criterion A7. As a result, I do not understand the rationale for deletion, either speedy or AFD.  Second, while acknowledging the article is short, the subject is reasonably prominent in its class of applications, it is sourced, and might be expanded in the future, as I have little on its feature set or history.  We should definitely have coverage of notable software.  Fletcher (talk) 13:12, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. I agree with the author. However I do suggest the page be speedily moved to ecto (lowercase e), as the software is always referred to as such, and per C2. Luinfana (talk) 14:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right. Would moving it cause a problem for the AfD?  Fletcher (talk) 22:43, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure. Perhaps the article could simply be moved after the AfD is resolved (assuming the article isn't deleted, obviously). Luinfana (talk) 01:14, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
