Disputed PROD. Unremarkable software, no assertion of notability. 9Nak (talk) 17:34, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fail to see why somebody would be against an open source (sourceforge) software which is very useful to the general public! To my understanding this is going to help people free of cost! I thought Wikipedia was known for its "knowledge is free for all" philosophy! Kuser99 (talk) 17:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC) kuser99[reply]

Noone's against open source software - but just because a program's free doesn't automatically make it's notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a WWW site for software pointers (see WP:NOT). Try adding references, etc which prove why it's significant enough to be included; see WP:NOTE. Cupids wings (talk) 19:28, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This has already been deleted once as a copyright violation. I agree that it is not notable and should be deleted. Not every single software that is useful to someone in some way should have an article on Wikipedia. It must meet notability guidelines.Theseeker4 (talk) 17:49, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No independent sources, no assertion or evidence of notability. I'll follow up with the author on policy questions. --Finngall ^talk 17:57, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep-Many hits here. It has been featured on Lifehacker.com link, has its own page on Sourceforge.net and CNET's download.com. I think this is notable enough and the article can be expanded little more to be one of the many software stubs. - Unpopular Opinion (talk) 18:19, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Not notable software. The fact it's got an entry on sourceforge and download.com doesn't make it notable! Anyone can stick their software on these sites! Cupids wings (talk) 19:28, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
