WeatherStar 4000 Emulator

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

The current conditions: 0 degrees with heavy cruft. The notability pressure is falling too, as is the ceiling. (Oh, and the humidity is 101%). Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 04:36, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia Weather Service has issued a Severe Conflict of Interest Warning for this article. (Creator name? TWC Fan Chris. Uh, we KNEW this was coming.) Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 04:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I am trying to make a genius program more famous that was developed by people who have worked hard to make the graphics for. The program is free to run, and it does not contain anything from the real WeatherStar 4000. TWCFanChris (talk) 05:47, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Does it meet Wikipedia's NOTABILITY standards? Emulators generally don't make the cut. Raymie Humbert (TrackerTV) (receiver, archives) 06:12, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete A piece of software like this does not seem to be a notable topic for a WP article, even if it was working. Better to publicize it someplace else. Northwestgnome (talk) 06:32, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Could have CSD'd this one. Chaldor (talk) 08:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - It is a notable program that emulates a well-known local forecast from The Weather Channel. It is popular and should NOT be deleted. Take a look at the forum here and see how popular the program is. MikeM2010 (talk) 14:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - There have actually been people wanting to download such a popular program, and over 500 needed support. TWCFanChris (talk) 14:57, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment 1. please post under me if you want to vote instead of inserting yours above me (this makes me think your a WP:SPA) and 2. "I Like It", or "It has fans" is not a reason to keep. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 16:48, 5 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Um, MikeM2010? A forum - much less the forum the company who makes the software - isn't a reliable source. Not only does it fail WP:RS, it also fails WP:VSCA, WP:N and WP:COI. Doc StrangeMailbox Logbook 14:30, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unless reliable links can be provided that show it's well-known or otherwise notable, I have to conclude that it is not. Rnb (talk) 15:26, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - While popular with TWC fans, it has very little notability outside TWC's fanbase.  ANDROS1337   16:00, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete - not notable at all, perhaps it can be mentioned in the WS4K article but doesn't deserve an article of its own. --Leuqarte (talk) 19:44, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
