WikiServer
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

This wiki software seems to have gained neither notability nor significant usage during its 8 years of existence (1997-2005) Yaron K. (talk) 08:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Does not seem to be notable, advertorial tone has been untouched since last AFD. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:02, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete: Previous AfD was taken over by editors that didn't understand the notability guidelines. Fails WP:N still. Joe Chill (talk) 16:22, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. I personally found this article informatively useful. Note that wiki software written in C++ is uncommon, and thus noteworthy, but not only within the context of the actual software, but for the history of usage of the language it is written in and the history of software development (especially for the web) in general. I have downloaded the software and will be examining it in the near future as I evaluate software for my personal wiki. Note that as a C++ user, WikiServer is high on my list of software to evaluate, for I can make sophisticated changes to it as needed. No GPL-taint either, which is important for me. All that said, I'm not sure if the aforementioned makes it "Wikipedia worthy", or worthy enough to stay. I improved the article a little, but that improvment made the article rather brief. I don't know if there's much more to say about it, for the relevant material is in the side box and the history of the free product. So that's my .02 on this matter.

I totally reworked the article since my "keep" suggestion, so please take a look at it again and reevaluate. TechTony (talk) 14:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Your rewording looks nice, but in my opinion it doesn't add any further proof of WikiServer's notability. Yaron K. (talk) 15:25, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
