 * Delete - One academic paper does not meet threshold required to establish notability. created by an SPA as possible promotional article. Dialectric (talk) 07:31, 1 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - Interesting sounding software. I wish the project well but it fails WP:GNG due to insufficient sources. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Salimfadhley (talk • contribs)
 * Keep - (Comment from article author) I've let this ride a week to so that I may address objections in a single post.
 * SPA:This is my first article. Everyone needs to start somewhere so, please, AGF and DNB while I play catch-up with the community.
 * Notability: I first read about this concept in Ars Technica on 3 April but only considered it for publication after it was mentioned on Bruce Schneier's blog about 2 weeks later. I will update the article with these links presently.
 * I believe, therefore, that SkypeMorph meets the WP:GNG conditions.
 * If notability is the only concrete reason for the AfD please review and verify the validity of the complaint in the guidlines - specifically B.2., C.2. and D.1. through D.3.
 * On a side note, SkypeMorph is not just another piece of software, it is the implementation of a concept. A concept that has much value in terms of freedom of speech in countries where people suffer government subjugation and any tools that can help their voice be heard are advantageous to humanity as a whole. As such (and because Wikipedia is a reference compendium) it seems fitting that this method of obfuscation and stenography be included in Wikipedia in the hope that more Wikipedians can make their voices heard in spite of authoritarian censorship.
 * Please close this issue as soon as possible. If the judgement is in favour of keeping the topic I respectfully ask that the AfD banner be removed from the article post-haste! If there is a delay of more than a week from today (i.e. after Monday, May 14 2012) then I will remove the banner and mention the decision in the Talk page of the article with a link to this discussion.

 * Delete. I'm sorry Themoother. This looks like an interesting concept but it doesn't yet meet WP:GNG. Multiple supersources are required. this is one. We need one, preferably two, more for this to pass WP:GNG and blogs don't count no matter how many people blog about it. What we need is more news articles from news sources with editorial oversight. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:40, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
