 * Delete – Found No (0) secondary sources for “Edbrowse", as shown here .  As such delete ShoesssS Talk 14:51, 13 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete: Searches are not finding better than forum postings. Absence of the WP:RS coverage which would be needed to overturn the previous AfD consensus. Fails WP:GNG. AllyD (talk) 06:37, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Hi, this argument for Keep is from the edbrowse developers. We are hoping the edbrowse wikipedia page can be kept on the basis of the fact that edbrowse is in several code distributions or distros: Debian, Arch, FreeBSD, Ubuntu and MacPorts.  We feel that for a software package this demonstrates corroboration by independent parties that edbrowse is in widespread use.  Why?  Distros have resource limitations and only want to include projects that have a user base.  We have improved the wikipedia page with up-to-date references to the five package-search results pages.  This demonstrates that edbrowse is included.  Also, please compare the notability threshhold for Tinyproxy, which, like edbrowse, is free-and-open-source software that lists its distros in lieu of outside press coverage.  Thank you. 69.228.171.29 (talk) 07:39, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment – Sorry to say, that is the worst argument to make! It shows Conflict Of Interest.  As such, DELETE. ShoesssS Talk 17:46, 16 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete - fails WP:GNG. \\\Septrillion:- &#8237;  10 Eleventeen 07:54, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - I can find no mention of it in "news" sources, but for comparison's sake, I can only find one news result (and that over a decade old) searching for "browser for the blind". It is my opinion that the notability guidelines are deficient if this program does not meet them. --Elijah (talk) 00:06, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I looked at the article and felt I’d typed  by mistake. Complete lack of sources. This really isn’t the right sort of topic that should be put in a global encyclopedia, and the program isn’t going to vanish into thin air just because there’s no article here. I wonder why the developers think a presence here is important? Ritchie333 (talk)  (cont)  22:22, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
