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

Undid a presumptive bad-faith PROD nomination by LTA, per Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents, but I have reason to believe that this is genuinely non-notable. This purportedly obsolete software has no non-primary sources, and includes a line about an unrelated project with the same name. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 19:04, 10 June 2022 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Comment. In just browsing through google books there are some independent reviews of QuickWin and plenty of coverage in books; although they are highly technical (I didn't even comprehend the reviews entirely). I do think an article could be made by someone with a general knowledge of computer programming that would pass GNG. However, I am not opposed to a soft deletion either unless someone comes along who wants to actually put some work into the article. I don't feel comfortable enough with the topical area to do it myself. Best.4meter4 (talk) 15:33, 1 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly an important software tool in its day, but was rapidly superseded. Reviews from the period here and here.  It's use with Visual Fortran apps is described in depth in Digital Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide and Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Creating Windows Applications. <b style="background:#FAFAD2;color:#C08000">Spinning</b><b style="color:#4840A0">Spark</b> 11:40, 2 July 2022 (UTC)
