 * Keep "dead" doesn't mean non-notable. Google shows many, many hits on NetCaptor.  Zoo Fari  06:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The existence of a lot of download sites does not show notability. You've edited the article to add reliable sources that prove notability? Unsourced information should be removed. Source or gtfo. SchmuckyTheCat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC).
 * If it receives many download pages, it is obviously notable (or was). Some gov sites mention it as well, but perhaps finding a reliable source is rather difficult.  Zoo Fari  16:53, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong keep – surely a browser that was one of the pioneers of tabbed browsing would be notable? It was a major spinoff of Internet Explorer with a large following back in the day, and the fact that it's no longer developed is not relevant. We should not promote recentism on Wikipedia. —Ynhockey (Talk) 02:01, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment lack of notability is usually a criterion for merging and not deletion. "dead" is not a valid criterion at all.    Thin  boy  00  @171, i.e. 03:05, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Strong Keep. What's the problem finding reliable sources for this? NYT, USA Today, Jerusalem Post, The Hindu, Chicago Sun Times, Pasadena Star News. There are lots more, but this should be enough for now. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 03:54, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
