VALO-CD

Nominating for deletion because it is completely insignificant and seems to just be someone's pet project. Canine virtuoso (talk) 18:10, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

The page has been written by 6 people (and one robot). I don't think the VALO-CD is insignificant, as it is now likely to be bigger than OpenDisc or OpenCD, both have Wikipedia articles too. --Ottokek (talk) 15:44, 13 May 2012 (UTC) — Ottokek (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Note to closing admin This nomination was malformed, it is still listed in the deletion log Articles for deletion/Log/2012 April 28, it appears that due to being malformed, no one noticed that it was not dealt with during the review of that day's log. I have refactored the nomination and added it to today's log, I suggest treating the time of this comment as the start time for the nomination. Monty  845  04:24, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
 * So, functionally, it's a relist. Happens all the time, no worries. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 14:35, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I like to distinguish cases such as this where there was some problem with the initial listing from regular relists as the date stamp on the nomination would otherwise be deceiving as to how much time for discussion there has been. But basically a relist. Monty  845  18:21, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete, though the nomination is flawed - pet projects can be notable if they get coverage in reliable sources. The presence of articles on OpenDisc and OpenCD does not have any relevance to this article, really. What we need to see are sources that talk about VALO-CD and why it's important and notable. In this case, we have four sources - Two press releases, a Slashdot Posting (which isn't reliable as such, as it just reposts content), and a news article. That last, the Finnish news article, appears to support notability - but one source isn't sufficient. Is there anything else out there that discusses the importance of the VALO-CD project?
