 * Delete Advertising non-notable software, WP:SOFTWARE refers.  (aeropagitica)    (talk)   08:51, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I was unaware of the fact I can not add an article for something i have developed, I am not trying to advertise for commercial benefit, merely attempting to add an article about it. AlexGW 12:39, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment, according to WP:SOFTWARE: Creating an article about software you have personally developed is strongly discouraged but not forbidden. It is indeed easy for an author to overestimate the notability of their work. If such work is notable, someone else will eventually start an article about it. From the number of unique Google hits and the number of threads in the program's developer forum I simply don't think it does match WP:SOFTWARE criteria for inclusion as notable software.

 * Keep -- dispute "advertising" :: merely informative; as to non-notability, suggest this depends on one's viewpoint -- SockpuppetSamuelson
 * Delete. Viewpoint:  only 36 unique G-hits (and almost all of those are from sites Powered By PHCDownload), Alexa rank #865,096.  No reviews, awards, or verifications of industry notability as per WP:SOFTWARE.  RGTraynor 16:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Advertising-like article for a non-notable piece of proprietary software that is still waiting for its final 1.0 release. Cedars 15:59, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: non-notable software that fails WP:SOFTWARE. --Hetar 17:47, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
