Non-notable software   S warm  ( Talk ) 00:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC) *Delete. Zero coverage in google news or books. Two blog reviews, one of which has gone missing are not sufficient per WP:GNG. Pcap ping  13:33, 4 February 2010 (UTC) (see below)
 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 02:11, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Do Not Delete: There is significant coverage for this software. I can list it here if desired. Some is listed in the article. More is available.  RadUser101  4:50 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete- I cannot find any reliable, third party sources that would demonstrate the notability of this software. There's lots of software in the world; most of it is not notable, and Wikipedia is not intended to be a database that lists everything that exists. Reyk  YO!  04:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete no notability asserted besides it exists. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  17:19, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep After re-reading the notability guidelines I will list more specifically.

Also, I fixed the broken link that made it appear as if one of the articles "went missing". Sorry about that, doesn't help the case very much to have broken links.

 * Unfortunately, I'm not sure how many of these are reliable sources. Most of these look like blogs. I tried to search for reliable sources to establish notability, but couldn't find any.   S warm  ( Talk ) 04:05, 5 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep Lifehacker, the first item on the list, is one of the most read blogs on the internet, and is reliable. (Note the definition of reliable does not exclude blogs altogether but says to look at the reliability of the blog in reference.) The last item on the list above is not a blog but a newspaper.

 * He is actually right, this appeared just 19 hours ago on Lifehacker. Lucky timing for this article I guess. Pcap ping  15:35, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Lifehacker and Vedomosti articles; the latter is behind a paywall, so I cannot judge depth of coverage. It seems this is just passing the threshold into notability. It might have to be userfied though given how this AfD went. Pcap ping  18:12, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete Lifehacker helps but it is only a minor review/post about the product. No where near enough RS to establish notability. 16x9 (talk) 04:16, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Lifehacker is 6 paragraphs, not counting the text copied from the site reviewed, and appears normal for a review rather than minor. Raduser101 (talk)
 * comment- !voting twice three time? 16x9 (talk) 15:37, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
 * comment- actually where I was adding anything, I was just copying the format of the line above each entry since I'm not good with html. So I'll just use this format for commenting on other people's entries if necessary. No mischief intended since I signed each one Raduser101 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC).
