The result was redirect to Bitdefender. Clear consensus against keeping this, but more or less a toss-up between delete, merge, and redirect. Redirect seems like a reasonable middle ground. -- RoySmith (talk) 01:19, 14 May 2019 (UTC)

Softwin

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Softwin doesn't seem as notable as Bitdefender. Suggest merging and deletion of the article. Also, article has no references. The article was previously WP:PROD ed in 2008 but the tag was removed. However, not much work has been done on the article in terms of proving its notability. Tyw7 (🗣️ Talk) — If (reply) then (ping me) 15:49, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Bitdefender. Redirects are cheap, there is not much content anyway and this looks like a plausible search term (mentioned in the target article). Pavlor (talk) 08:36, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete or Redirect to Bitdefender, Article cites no sources, and a search on Google turns up no coverage. Jeb3  Talk at me here  13:30, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. I would not say "no coverage", see Google News, including BBC. Softwin and Bitdefender are now separate companies. Softwin is managed by Măriuca Talpeș, while BitDefender is managed by Florin Talpeș. Softwin's business is based on educational software (Intuitext) and customer service consulting (Paxato). Ascenta (IT business consulting) was also part of the Softwin group, but it is now sold to Computas. Razvan Socol (talk) 05:33, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete - does not meet WP:ORGCRITE, it has not "been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject" - therefore, delete - Epinoia (talk) 00:18, 12 May 2019 (UTC)
