References used in the article either don't cover the subject or are merely passing mentions. Unable to locate any additional reliable sources which cover the subject. There are a few forum threads discussing the merits of the website's reviews, but otherwise there's nothing. Elaenia (talk) 00:07, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

KEEP - I've been aware of Matousec software firewall test about about 10 years, because I found it when I first started looking for a replacement for Norton Internet Security months before Windows Vista was released. Their test is kind of unique. I'm kind of amazed that more people aren't aware of their Windows software firewall test, but I think it comes down to this group not flooding the internet with spam links like some groups do. I found a link in a few minutes of searching. I agree this article need improvement, especially better references, but it shouldn't be deleted. • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 04:34, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * The website you've cited as an indicator of notability doesn't appear to fit the guidelines for being a reliable source. Looking at links to it on Wikipedia, it seems to be mostly a spam blog constantly outputting articles along the lines of "best MP3 player software", "best free file archiver", etc. typical blog spam. In terms of coverage by reliable sources, I've been unable to find any despite extensive searching. There are a few passing mentions, but nothing covering the topic in-depth.

 * Delete as however sourced and informative this article may be, it's still questionably better and I'm not finding anything convincing to keep. SwisterTwister   talk  05:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. References are low quality. I went looking for some better quality references and couldn't find any. (The closest I could find was a Masters Thesis; I don't think Masters Thesis generally count as RS though.) SJK (talk) 02:54, 26 March 2016 (UTC)
