Completely non-notable software, a spammer's article J. M. (talk) 22:01, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

This is an informative description of a popular download manager, their are many others in wikipedia that follow the same format, they are active and have a large amount of edits - meaning they haven't slipped through the net so to speak, and have been deemed worthy. This is no exception. Article should remain. Michaelbarry147 (talk) 22:25, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

 * You are unable to prove the software is popular, as there are basically no sources about it at all. Besides, notability does not rely on popularity. The "Other stuff exists" argument is invalid in deletion discussions.&mdash;J. M. (talk) 22:40, 17 July 2016 (UTC)
 * http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Create-a-CD/ a site which i have no control over, shows that almost 5,000 people have viewed the tutorial there. That is proof that it is popular. Michaelbarry147 (talk) 04:57, 18 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but that is irrelevant (and ridiculous). Besides, this is one of the most common tricks spammers use: post a "howto" tutorial on some blog, wiki or a similar website with a generic title that suggests the article deals with a general topic, to attract visitors (in this instance, "How To Burn A CD"), and then advertise their product in the article (and spam with the fake "tutorial" on Wikipedia).&mdash;J.

 * Delete We don't promote ways to round a website's TOS, and this is definitely one way to do it, along with promoting music piracy. Not only non-notable, but a good candidate to get DMCA'ed if we somehow kept this (not even considering the eHow-ish links mentioned above designed to scream WP:ITSNOTABLE).

 * Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking independent RS references. Softpedia articles with their large 'download now' buttons for the reviewed software are not independent, and howto articles are not typically seen as contributing to notability. A search turned up no significant WP:RS coverage. Dialectric (talk) 06:51, 25 July 2016 (UTC)
