Xl Notes

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable app and sources don't establish notability. Nothing on Google or Google News about it. To paraphrase the author: "This is a new software so it didn't get coverage yet". Laurent (talk) 14:34, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - if this was written any more as a promo piece I would've suggested a speedy for spam. A plugin for Excel just doesn't seem notable enough for a Wikipedia article, and the references it provides (a helpdesk post, a totally irrelevant instruction guide, and another totally irrelevant info page), coupled with the fact that Google turns up no further useful refs (rather unlike a notable piece of software) all seem to support this.

 * Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 19:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I agree with deletion. I thought this add-in was notable because I use it extensively and thought it would be interesting to others. Should I resubmit it later, after notable sources appear or this subject is completely unnotable? Qery12 (talk) 06:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
 * It really depends on whether it gets noteworthy coverage by third-party sources; what I meant by my above comment is that this seems unlikely to happen for a Microsoft Office plugin. Certainly as the article is now, those current references don't help establish notability, and nothing I can locate on the 'net appears to support its notability either. If it were to become notable for some reason (software awards, major news pieces, etc.) then I think it would be fine to recreate the article. SMC (talk) 22:00, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
