This is non-notable and unsourced software. I have declined to use PROD on this article because it contains one external source. One source does not show notability.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep. Notability in this case is very subjective, and hard to evaluate.  It is better to err on the side of a bit of additional data than to just delete it. 173.15.213.186 (talk) 04:31, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Lack of sources is easy to evaluate. That completely fails our verification policy. Miami33139 (talk) 10:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There are 3 external links, and two of them are authoritative and very verifiable. An article in a similar condition (notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, but without copious amounts of external sources but those that are present are easily verified and authoritative) is the article on the Syllable operating system.

 * Incredibly feeble keep. (!voting neutral seemed too lame in an AfD) The only WP:SECONDARY source is that Brave GNU World issue, which is tethering on self-published, although the column was republished in print (see Georg C. F. Greve). There's virtually no other commentary about twin anywhere, except this blog. Pcap ping  16:35, 24 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete, the sources don't seem to hold up to me. Lankiveil (speak to me) 04:13, 26 December 2009 (UTC).
