[edit] Http file server

Fails to establish notability per WP:SOFTWARE. Had tagged this {{prod}}, but User:Rawbanana who has only edited this article, removed it. Seems to be vanity/advertisement NTK 18:44, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Rawbanana's reply I'm not affiliated with this software in any way. However, I feel that it is a unique and revolutionary software that deserves to be recognized in Wikipedia. Please also understand that this is my first article and I do not really understand how to edit articles properly or format it properly for Wikipedia.

I edited my original submission thinking that it had added enough to justify entry into Wikipedia. If that is not enough and you still feel this article is not worthy, please delete it. In the meantime, I will try to learn more about the Wikipedia system and see if I can fulfill the Wikipedia requirements.

Note the information I have used in the article is primarily from the forums http://www.rejetto.com/forum/index.php?c=6 or from Sourceforge.net. I have tried to be neutral as much as possible. Again I didn't realize new entries were so hard to be approved for Wikipedia and I will try to read up on what this submission is missing. Should I have left the {{prod}} for someone else to remove? Oh well...

You may remove {{prod}} tags from articles you create, but if you do so you should put something on the talk page justifying why you think it should be included, similar to what you wrote above. Please read over the guidelines at WP:SOFTWARE, and also WP:NOR. In short as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia should not be used to promote "relatively unknown" products, persons, or ideas. It should be used to document things that are already notable in their own right. NTK 20:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete looking at the article a stable full-featured version was only released last month, which I guess explains why there is no evidence of market share, innovation, iomportance, influence, non-trivial coverage in reliable secondary sources etc. Which means we can't verify the neutrality of the article. WP:SOFTWARE appears to apply. Just zis Guy you know? 21:03, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Unknown anything is not notable.  RasputinAXP  c 00:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Notability I read the Wikipedia Notability article and wikipedia and understand that all a software needs is 1 3rd party award to be notable. HFS has 1 3rd party award from www.snapfiles.com in 2004. A 2minute appearance and recommendation by a popular independent media website such as Hak5.org also seems notable. HFS only appears on these websites due to its unique functionality although its growth is among psp and international users instead of within the professional networking crowd. A quick google for "psp hfs" will also show many results. I've also updated some sources and wording on the main "http file server" page. Rawbanana 09:34, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
