UseModWiki
Article does not assert notability per WP:WEB Anadirgrowlslayer 05:52, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article does not have to meet the criterion of WP:WEB, as it isn't a website or forum, but instead a highly notable wiki software. The article meets WP:SOFTWARE due to several published articles on the subject, the hundreds of sites hosted using the software, and the fact that it was developed by Clifford Adams (notable software developer). tmopkisn tlka 06:23, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per Tmpokisn. Not a website, so WP:WEB is completely irrelevant. Stifle (talk) 11:12, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - WP:WEB isn't appropriate since this is software, and it may just scrape through WP:SOFTWARE (not to be confused with WP:SOFT, although apparently Wikipedia did originally run on this, which make it notable by itself). - makomk 12:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, and improve to proper encyclopedic standard: this is an important piece of software, and has its place in Internet history. -- The Anome 20:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. UseModWiki is not a website, but a WikiEngine. Wikipedia started out using UseModWiki. Mediawiki is derived from it. MeatballWiki currently runs on it. Oddmuse is a UseModWiki descendant.
 * KeeP. QuiteALotOfWikis used to use this WikiEngine. Clearly meets SoftwareNotabilityCriteria. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 07:49, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
