 * Delete: No evidence of significant coverage, and only reference given was the company home page in the original article creation. --Closeapple (talk) 08:20, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - No coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. -- Joaquin008  ( talk ) 09:58, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - I can find one third party reference to one of the company's products. I think this is another one that the WP:WHACAMOLE players are going to bang their WP:RS hammers with, whereas there's probably decades old paper based sources that nobody can find anymore. -- Ritchie333  (talk)  15:12, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The news article you added doesn't appear to discuss Softworks Limited. It appears to be on the development of Linux. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  15:19, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The article contains a paragraph starting "VBVM—A Visual Basic 5 Virtual Machine: This product from Softworks Limited is a portable version of the MS Visual Basic 5 virtual machine." -- Ritchie333  (talk)  15:21, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I just noticed that. It does appear there is a two sentence mention in paragraph 9, but that really isn't significant coverage. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  15:24, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
 * This looks promising though. Alpha_Quadrant    (talk)  15:25, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
