REPLAY (software)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

No notability is established or implied. The article cites no reliable, independent and verifiable sources. Rather, most of the article's references are self-published. Has been speedied once in the past, and though this incarnation contains more substance, the software just hasn't had any traction to warrant inclusion.

 * I added two (blog) articles on REPLAY from third-parties, that makes it three independent sources (English, Dutch, German); the article from the proceedings of the 36th annual ACM SIGUCCS conference was submitted and peer-reviewed, I don't know whether that makes it more of an independend source. Finally, the article has now been linke from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yovisto, making it less of an orphan. Not sure what you mean by "the software just hasn't had any traction" - how does this relate to notability? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oas777 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)  — Oas777 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Peer-review of a paper by a creator of the subject software does not establish notability and is certainly not independent. Jim Ward (talk·stalk) 15:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep. I'm a bit suspicious of self-promotion, but the article seems to have some decent sources - the language barrier makes this difficult, though. The article certainly needs rewriting, but I don't think it should be deleted. Nanowolf (talk) 01:10, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * This article is bombarded with specious claims notability using papers and PPT presentations published by the subject software's creators, along with conference proceedings to which those individuals have contributed. When you discard sources that don't satisfy WP:RS and those in which the subject's creators had a hand in producing, what's left is insufficient to claim notability.

 * Not sure why you ask me to provide sources in the first place and then accuse me of "bombarding". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Oas777 (talk • contribs) 12:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)  — Oas777 (talk •


 * Keep. I don't think the article should be deleted, since it describes a software solution that is referred to throughout the user domain, e. g. the opencast community, dealing with a/v software products: opencast listserv. Additionaly, I attended numerous well-known conferences in Europe and the U.S. (e.g. EDUCAUSE) where this product was either presented or referred to, and last but not least the steeple project in the U.K. conducted a workshop on replay.

 * This "keep" recommendation is the first and only edit of, whom I suspect to be a WP:SOCK. Jim Ward (talk·stalk) 15:36, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
