Sshguard

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Afd as non notable, unable to csd as I believe software doesn't qualify but it also seems to advertise more then inform as well. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 06:39, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

I think due to the nature of Wikipedia we should let such articles to start, then improve and get growth gradually. I'm an IT security expert and believe that the Brute-Force attacks against software servers is an important issue today. While I was searching for appropriate software solutions to control such attack types, I encountered "SSHGuard". After some studying, I convinced that it worth to start an article about SSHGuard in the Wikipedia. I'm not the SHHGuard project manager or a fan, so the article isn't an advertisement at all! So please give a helping hand to improve such articles instead of killing them as a deficient infant!! Mjdtjm (talk) 06:40, 4 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete The sources supplied here are not reliable. One blog and two how-to. The fourth is a forum discussion about it. I suspect that it could be a notable product, but I can't find any WP:RSes that have written feature articles about it. --Walter Görlitz (talk) 00:21, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2012 November 13.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  17:15, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

 * delete nothing in article or here establishes notability. For comparison it comes 21st on the sourceforge list of firewalls. While it may be good software we are an encylopedia not a list of software.--Salix (talk): 08:45, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
