Non Notable statistics package Codf1977 (talk) 10:52, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

I do not understand why this article keeps getting deleted. Please view the entry for "Statistical Packages" and you will see that there are many, many other statistical software packages that have Wikipedia pages. ProFicient is a statistical software and should be represented in the same way that the other statistics packages are represented. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liz111178 (talk • contribs) 11:03, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * The issue is the product does not appear to meet the guidelines for having a WP article. Codf1977 (talk) 11:05, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Delete - no mention of product in single reference; impossible to gauge notability due to false positives on Google. . . Mean as custard (talk) 11:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - reference mentions the product under its original name (according to the article) of InfinityQS SPC. Cassandra 73 (talk) 11:51, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. GregJackP (talk) 12:27, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. Nothing indicates that this software product has any historical, technical, or cultural significance.  The existence of "many, many other statistical software packages" suggests that few or none of them rate encyclopedia articles. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 18:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete as although it sounds like it might be notable, I can't find significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, so we can't verify the contents of the article. I had a good look, searching for "InfinityQS" rather than "ProFicient" (too many false positives for the latter, and any significant coverage would include the name of the company): . The News hits appear to be reprints of press releases, as does the existing ref in the article, so don't count as independent reliable sources. There are some mentions in books, but no sign of significant coverage. It's true that there are many other statistical packages with articles, but that's not a good argument against deletion—quite a few of them probably don't meet our criteria for notability either (though I wouldn't go as far as Smerdis of Tlön above as I'm pretty sure many of them do).
