NormDis, normal probability distribution calculator

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia's notability guideline on Internet content and a related essay on the notability of software give a number of guidelines on when it is normally appropriate to have a standalone article for web software. Quoting from the former, ""Notable" is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance," and even web content that editors personally believe are "important" or "famous" are only accepted as notable if they can be shown to have attracted notice. No web content is exempt from this requirement, no matter what kind of content it is. If the individual web content has received no or very little notice from independent sources, then it is not notable simply because other web content of its type are commonly notable or merely because it exists". This software does not have multiple non-trivial independent secondary sources describing it and hence ought not to have a standalone article. NW ( Talk ) 17:08, 8 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete Still has no claim or evidence of notability. "You can find this software online for free" doesn't really cut it.  There is nothing there to merge, as none of it comes from WP:RS. The only reference cited is of the calculation method used, and not to the software itself. Agricolae (talk) 02:55, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Not notable because of a lack of in-depth coverage in reliable sources. List of statistical packages contains a lot of properly notable software covered in book-length depth by prestigious publishing houses. This software is simply not in the same league, and does not meet basic notability requirements. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:07, 9 September 2013 (UTC)
