Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SEO Panel


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   delete. See User:Sandstein/AfD closing for methodological comments. The "keep" opinions are notably weak, ignoring the serious sourcing arguments raised by the "delete" opinions and instead focusing on the subject's perceived merits, which are irrelevant for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Despite the author's repeated protestations, I don't think that this is notable. There are many, many links, mainly back to the software website or to redistributors. It's biggest claim to fame seems to be "1st runner up Most Promising Open Source Project" which didn't even get it much coverage. There are two apparently comphrensive reviews and. The first appears to consist largely of text cut and pasted from the software projects website, leaving a single review / walk through upon which this software's notability rests. I just don't think it's enough. Stuartyeates (talk) 18:42, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete It's not good enough to just find a couple of reviews somewhere on the whole wide web. Notability requirements for an article start at multiple reliable sources giving non trivial coverage, and the reviews aren't coming from notable, WP:RS-compliant sites. No indication this software has become notable in the field or in general. That lack leaves the article as pure advertising, which is WP:NOT what Wikipedia is here for. If it ever becomes notable the article can be recreated. DreamGuy (talk) 20:21, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep To begin with there are no "free softwares" for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) available in the market today. Every tool tries to make you download a beta/test version for free then buy a host of services of "full package" later. Seo Panel is the first, open source tool that lets you run your SEO for as many sites as you want, unrestricted. Then SEO Panel is Open Source, thus we can customize it to suit our specific needs and reuse the code available to re-create a refined version of Seo Panel for our needs. In this scenario Seo Panel will become a benchmark for future Open Source projects for Search Engine Optimization professionals. I understand your worry about not seeing enough reviews for the software. But this software was built by a single developer over a period of 2 years and so possibly didn't have enough "marketing resources". That apart I will make sure I provide as many third party reviews as possible within a day or two. Thanks all for the kind consideration. by William Emmanual | Send me a Message 14:16, 25 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep The greatest notability of seo panel is 1st runner up as most promising open source project in one of the famous open source award of world(Packt Open source Award). The award based on a combination of public voting and input by a panel of judges consisting of open source luminaries. Seo Panel is released in 27 languages, thats why reviews are spread over different languages. I have just added new references to seo panel page and removed unwanted references. For your information I am adding some references here and hope this will help every one.

The article currently have about 16 references, they are coming from notable secondary sources. Also secondary sources are from different languages. Please verify it here => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEO_Panel#References Also one privileged editor removed the "citations from reliable sources" issue from article. I think it is enough to keep the article and support wikipedia. Sendtogeo (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2012 (UTC) — Sendtogeo (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. 
 * Delete: all of the listed sources are blogs with no editorial oversight. Though MakeUseOf and TechRepublic are somehow reputable blogs, neither of their articles cover the software in question in sufficient detail, so no sources are provided to demonstrate notability of topic. — Dmitrij D.

 * Keep It probably will be a while before this project reaches the critical mass of other well funded closed source projects. It costs money to build awareness before good editorials get written. It seems pointless to remove this article in the short term only to bring it back once it reaches the right level of public awareness. While it's good to keep business spamming out of wikipedia, I feel the project is more of a public resource. It fits a small market much like Piwik.

 * I'm very glad to work with seopanel, I added this important tool to my sites, and hope to be helpfull for my traffic also — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mihaid2012 (talk • contribs) 04:08, 11 July 2012 (UTC)  — Mihaid2012 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Unfortunately, this does not help establish notability. --Nouniquenames (talk) 05:09, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

I am using the program. The most helpful part is that Geo Vargese is very responsive to fixing any proglems.

The program works smoothly, he is adding upgrades all the time and they are useful.

I think you would be remiss if you delete this work — ‎Locators (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
