 * Delete I'll note that the article in its current for is incomprehensible to anyone who does not already know what an IC layout editor, GDS and OASIS are, so should be sent to Draft for a rewrite if kept. The article basically says that Klayout is software that can be used to view (and edit) files. With regards to notability, the subject fails both WP:NSOFT and the WP:GNG. It has not received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources, and has no particular historical or technical significance. Mduvekot (talk) 17:58, 13 August 2017 (UTC)
