Esobi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  AfD statistics)

Non-notable software that is sourced only to the publisher. A softpedia link is not a source, and neither is placement on a list of software that works with Microsoft Windows. Searching references links to press releases and patents, but not reliable mainstream sources that show notability. Miami33139 (talk) 07:45, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 17:46, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Save: This article gave me exactly the information I wanted about a pre-installed software package on my laptop and was valuable to me. These types of articles are exactly what I love about Wikipedia.  I would never be able to find such a practical, useful, non-academic article in an encyclopedia run by one of the traditional paper based publisher encyclopedia web sites.  Thanks Wikipedia for fulfilling my everyday needs.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by JacksonJarvis (talk • contribs) 13:52, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. A search returns only download sites and the typical directory/social media links. None of those are reliable sources. There's no coverage and no notability. Transmissionelement (talk) 16:57, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Save: I was about to delete this software from a laptop I was working on and decided to find out more about it first. From reading this article there are enough features listed here to warrant saving the software until I have time to really look into it.  Since Acer now appears to 'own' eSobi a link from the Acer, Inc. page should be added to point here ... and Acer is notable.  Just think how wrong it would have been to delete the Twitter entry in it's early days before it became a tool used by Iranian students to coordinate freedom rallys. This software may not be the next Twitter but someone thought enough of it to get the Windows Vista and Windows 7 'compatibility stamp' for it which can be time consuming.

 * Save: When I saw this software on my new Acer netbook I had no idea what it was. I launched it and it provided me with no useful information but it wanted me to accept a license, etc. So I stopped the program and searched Wikipedia, and this article provided me with at least some useful information. Maybe it's not the perfect article but it is the best and most easily available information currently available. And I am very glad it was here.
