I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 19:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is a utility to create self-extracting scripts for software installations on Linux systems. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 19:54, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete apparent lack of secondary source coverage. Gigs (talk) 20:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep, this is probably the most widely used software to create self-extracting archives on Linux, used by the Google Earth installer, the Nvidia installer, and many other projects. I know there is not many coverage, but... did you honestly expect coverage of a CLI tool used mainly by (Linux) software developers? --SF007 (talk) 17:35, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If it has no coverage, it should be deleted. Joe Chill (talk) 19:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Like I said, this kind of software does not really get lots of reviews due to its very nature. I feel there is no strong reason for deletion given the popularity of this tool --SF007 (talk) 20:50, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a strong reason. It fails WP:N and Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Joe Chill (talk) 20:55, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
