Secret, since I have not received a reply to my comments on the talk page, I am posting here. A note about the proposed deletion:

Note that other music visualizations such as Neon (light synthesizer), Milkdrop and NoiseCradle have their own wiki pages which contain a lot less information and do not have valid references, but these have not been suggested for deletion. I would be interested to know why the Morphyre page was singled out in particular rather than these.

Of course it may not contain a huge mass of information at the moment that you would expect from a page that has been around for 5 years, but isn't that the idea of a wiki? That others add information to help make an article more complete? (Not that the article gets deleted within a week before anyone is given a chance to add to it). I have contributed anonymously to several mathematics and engineering related articles and think that it is the opportunity for others to help build an article that makes wikipedia so valuable.

Morphyre represents an important development in the evolution of music visualizations because of its 3D stereoscopic output and because of the multiplicity of different 3D scenes. It is also being developed separately with the hope of being involved in a project which tries to bring an experience of music to deaf children in schools. It is also one of the few visualizers capable of being run on Macs, Windows, and all the main media players.

I have added some references, which as I'm sure you know, is difficult for a purely web-based product. The statistics about the downloads are verified on the Winamp website and the use of TinyJS is also referenced.
