WinFlash Educator

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Written mostly by the person who created it, it's basically a spammy advertisement for a non-noteworthy product. It appears to have one CNet review, which appears to be the amount of non-shareware-specific attention it's gotten. A previous AfD exists at Articles_for_deletion/Winflash.

 * Delete - Poorly referenced software article, with insufficient coverage to establish notability, created by an SPA as possibly promotional.Dialectric (talk) 10:57, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

 This discussion was had back several years ago. WinFlash Educator has been a well-received program for many years with 10's of thousands of users. Why does Mr. Orlando single out WinFlash when there are many programs of much LESS notability listed on the Flashcard Software and Spaced Repetition topics. Please leave this listing as it is. Here's a quote from the PREVIOUS delisting attempt "Keep it's an ace program actually. Still, the article is a bit of an ad and maybe needs toning down.--Bedivere 19:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)" All suggested modifications to make the listing less of an 'ad' were made at the time and remain. It would be unfair to remove this listing without doing a complete purge of all listed flashcard software products! — Preceding unsigned comment added by DickBryant (talk • contribs)

 * Delete - Inclusion on Wikipedia needs significant coverage in independent reliable sources. That is not the case here.  The sourcing in the article is not to reliable sources, nor can I find such coverage when I search myself aside from this CNet review. -- Whpq (talk) 22:08, 26 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing approaching the WP:IRS standard here. A reasonable search finds that though the product has been available for many years, media buzz surrounding the product is sadly lacking. Since Wikipedia is not a directory of all softwares and insufficient sourcing exists to sustain the page, delete. BusterD (talk) 14:50, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
