The result was keep. As noted by User:Pppery, a lot of the "keep" comments are pretty weak, but among them they accumulated several pieces of coverage that appear to be independent and reliable. RL0919 (talk) 19:09, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Nextcloud

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

There is precious little to suggest this software is notable (see also WP:NSOFT). No awards, I only foudn two possibly reliable reviews, and maybe this from the article. Most references are to the company itself. This is pretty borderline. Let's discuss :) Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 15:18, 19 October 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep - Nextcloud filed a complaint with the European Commission last year which is fairly significant . I'd vote against deletion as the sources in the article also appear fine if one ignores the non-independent ones listed. 2601:584:C300:57E0:B65B:C76C:24C8:CE4A (talk) 19:49, 20 October 2022 (UTC) — 2601:584:C300:57E0:B65B:C76C:24C8:CE4A (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Keep - Hello @Piotrus, the Nextcloud project has millions of users around the globe. Schools, human right activists, commercial, governments, cities and more. I do not fully understand the deletion request. What exactly should be improved? Links to external resources?

 * Keep - Hello @Piotrus, Since one the reasons to be deleted is that Nextcloud hasn't won any award, actually yesterday they won as the best "Cloud Content Management" from Cloud Computer Insider, they got first place (Platin). They competed against Dropbox and Onlyoffice. What makes Nextcloud less reliable than them?
 * Last year they won Platin again in the "File-sharing" category. (slide nr 18). I also have the same questions as Mark, I dont understand why this article is for deletion. --Margott (talk) 13:16, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * @Margott Is this award significant? Does it have its own Wikipedia article? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:13, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Hello @Piotrus this software is notable enough as Gartner is listing it in their Content Collaboration list: https://www.gartner.com/reviews/market/content-collaboration-tools together with IMHO less notable software. The software runs German government's "Bundescloud" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundescloud and used by many other institutions.
 * 300 avg daily visits in the last 90 days shows continuous attention (compared with 500 for Microsoft and 1500 for Google) 2A02:1205:5006:7161:5975:E15A:8B6D:318F (talk) 15:36, 24 October 2022 (UTC) — 2A02:1205:5006:7161:5975:E15A:8B6D:318F (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Handelsblatt reports 250000 Nextcloud installations: https://www.handelsblatt.com/technik/it-internet/cloud-dienste-eu-staaten-setzen-auf-deutsches-start-up-nextcloud/24942352.html 2A02:1205:5006:7161:5975:E15A:8B6D:318F (talk) 15:44, 24 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Easily passes WP:GNG. 0x Deadbeef  →∞ (talk to me) 09:03, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * If I go to https://github.com/search?q=nextcloud I get  4,954 repository results.  For free software code development - this seems rather substantial and notable.  These are references to whole repositories, not individual items !
 * Since the original software author for OwnCloud is the same person as the lead developer for NextCloud, perhaps the articles would be merged or, alternately, delete the article on OwnCloud also ! Wikijmartin (talk) 16:09, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - see above Wikijmartin (talk) 16:18, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * It is also for sale as a commercial product NextCloud Enterprise - see the pricing page here: https://nextcloud.com/Pricing/ Wikijmartin (talk) 16:33, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep The brigade of weakly-argued keeps from SPAs and otherwise-inactive accounts certainly does not help their case, however I see sufficient sourcing here with 0xDEAFBEEF's second ZdNet article (the first source is not independent and the third one is redundant to the second) and the reviews in the nomination to warrant an article. * Pppery * it has begun... 18:55, 25 October 2022 (UTC)
