Weak Delete - Although the software is used by many, the article definitely isn't NPOV, and as other users have said, it reads like advertising copy, and may also be a copyvio. =P

- Delete, the way in which the article is written is spamtastic. Vulcanstar6 23:27, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

- Keep, many, many media mentions. Monicasdude 02:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep but cleanup. — TKD::Talk 04:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep as notable (with various media mentions) - in present form, not bad enough to be deleted simply due to content being a mess. --Fuzzie (talk) 01:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Notable enough. If it is WP:VSCA {{sofixit}}. Kotepho 13:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: As Rod Serling would say, submitted for your consideration is the fact that there is a separate entry for Gotomypc, which is written in a much less commercial manner and with a bit more of a NPOV. If GoToMyPC ends up being deleted, purhaps Gotomypc can be flagged with a clean-up tag.
- Merge' with Gotomypc and propose renaming to correct capitalization on the talk page. A google news search turns up hits talking about the software on ZDNet and PCWorld magazines. Not liking the service is not enough to propose deletion of an article, although I don't object to deletion in general. Merge may well mean keeping most of Gotomypc and less of the other, but a feature list is relevant as you can tell by many other software pages. -- cmh 01:33, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
- Keep due to latest clean-up work. MikeBriggs 16:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
