PDFLite

IP editor contested the PROD. As I said in the PROD, this article has zero reliable third-party sources showing notability, nor could I find any after a search online. The article fails to meet either WP:GNG or WP:NSOFT. Aoidh (talk) 18:26, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. • Gene93k (talk) 01:35, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * That something is listed in an index-of-pages is not a reason to keep the page. The topic itself needs to have independent sources supporting notability of it. DMacks (talk) 17:25, 18 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete: my search gave no RS apart from this short blog post of Sumatra PDF's author, who claims that this software is not notable at any rate. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk•track) 21:57, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as "blatant advertising or promotion" and consider investigating the original poster for using WP to promote malware. This article is written like an ad, which is a very bright red flag for something that's open source. All I could find about it was problems people had with it installing unwanted programs and adware without consent. Herdprotect.com says, "The application pdflite.exe by Best Download Manager has been detected as adware by 11 anti-malware scanners." Dcs002 (talk) 06:30, 26 July 2014 (UTC)
