Kid3

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable software. Fails WP:NSOFTWARE and WP:GNG. - MrX 16:34, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I am withdrawing this AfD. It seems that there are a number of German sources, and although I can't verify most of them, the sheer abundance of minor, less reliable sources strongly suggests that the software may pass our minimum notability guidelines.- MrX 17:11, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

I do not think that Kid3 is non-notable software. Compare its download statistics on SourceForge with other audio tag editors which have an article in Wikipedia: Kid3 has 2335 weekly downloads, EasyTag has 558 weekly downloads, and puddletag has 117 weekly downloads. Since the first release, Kid3 has been downloaded 332,219 times from SourceForge. This numbers are only a small part of all Kid3 installations. Kid3 is most popular on Linux (especially KDE), most Linux users will install Kid3 from the repositories of their distribution, Kid3 is part of all relevant Linux distributions, e.g. Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and openSUSE. Several DVDs containing Kid3 have been published (e.g. the DVDs accompanying c't 13/2008, 17/2010, 14/2011, 1/2012, 15/2012, EasyLinux 2/2008, 1/2013, iPadWelt 03/2013, Opensource-DVD), thus there are also more Windows and Mac users.

Several specialized magazines have reported about Kid3 (e.g. c’t 9/2005, 13/2008, 5/2010, 26/2012, c’t kompakt 2/2010, EasyLinux 2/2008, 1/2013 (rating: 5 of 5 stars), PC-WELT 02/2012), search on Heise Online for arcticles in c't. Kid3 is also mentioned in books such as the Ubuntu Linux Bible (p. 496), Michael Koffler - Linux das umfassende Handbuch (p. 313). These are German magazines and books, I do not know about magazines in other languages, but there are for example articles in the Italian PC Professionale and the English Wired.

There are also quite a few reviews about Kid3 on the web: — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ufleisch (talk • contribs) 04:47, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep I have added bibliography and references to proof notability. - Ufleisch (talk) 14:00, 5 January (CET) —Preceding undated comment added 13:01, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

Urs, Thanks for your contribution.

Gene93k, can an will you give an consideration whether the contribution is sufficient.

Please advise if anything is missing. Please advise if the structure is not correct according to the guidelines of Wikipedia. --Toon van Gerwen (talk) 14:10, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Kid3 is a reliable maintained program like Easytag. See http://kid3.sourceforge.net/
 * It is the subject of multiple printed third party manuals.
 * I used the Style guide for software like Easytag.
 * I added anonymous Kid3 three years ago to the Tag_editor page. Apparently removed because no sequel page existed on Wikipedia.
 * Those are sources that verify that the software exists, but not necessarily that it is notable. I suggest you read WP:RS and remove any sources on this list that do not meet the criteria of being independent, reliable, subject to editorial oversight, not self-published, etc. Wired would be a reliable source.- MrX 14:30, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 * The list above is not filtered, but I have added the reliable sources to Kid3 and Kid3. Is this sufficient? --Ufleisch (talk) 15:59, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
