Getplus

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Promotion for non-notable software product. I have been unable to find any significant third-party coverage in reliable sources. Given sources are either incidental mentions or even no-mentions. Haakon (talk) 12:01, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

getPlus is used around the world on 100 of millions of downloads. The most downloaded application on the planet: Adobe Reader is solely downloaded via getPlus; the second most downloaded application on the planet: Adobe Flash si also solely downloaded via getPlus. Hence, if getPlus article is deleted I recommend we delete all download manager articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.234.60.138 (talk) 13:59, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete or merge. This is a HTML-based download manager developed by NOS Microsystems Limited. getPlus is used in the distribution of Adobe Acrobat Reader 8, 9, Adobe Flash Player 10 and Corel Software So that's what that annoying thing is.  This is a component of some surely notable software, and would not be out of place in the articles about those packages; but this has no stand alone notability in itself. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:09, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Sources don't indicate notability, a search for sources yields nothing that indicates notability, and there seems to be an ongoing campaign to get the product name inserted into as many articles as possible which makes me think this is done to promote a non-notable product. --bonadea contributions talk 14:09, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Also note that the WP article for NOS Microsystems, the company behind the product, has been speedily deleted for lack of notability. --bonadea contributions talk 16:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess Speedy delete under CSD G4, as it is likely to be a repost of GetPlus Transfer Manager, deleted via a deletion discussion, though I cannot be sure since, not being an admin, I can't check whether it is substantially the same. Any admin reading this might like to check, and if so then speedy-delete it. If not then still delete for lack of any notability. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
