I can't find any reliable sources that show notability. Schuym1 (talk) 02:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

 * weak keep. There are a few Google books that mention it, and a fair number of websites describe it, e.g. . Sort of notable. Aymatth2 (talk) 20:16, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - quite a few reliable sources can be found, which I have added to article. Specilaist but notable. Jezhotwells (talk) 14:00, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2 of the four sources where unreliable. 2 reliable sources with significant coverage might be enough. Schuym1 (talk) 15:07, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - I am the original author of the article. I wrote it because this program is one of the alternatives to Matlab. I think it is a great for any student who is taught matlab to be able to implement algorithms at home, without the need to pay and be even able to tinker with the program itself. I think this should also count as notability. Ben T/C 09:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If the article is deleted, I'd propose that the content be worked into the Matlab article -- I'd hate to see an open-source alternative trampled under simply because the proprietary closed-source application is more 'notable'. 198.82.167.78 (talk) 06:02, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
