[edit] Off By One (browser)

Off By One (browser) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

OK, I am not entirely convinced about notability of this product. It seems to me to fail WP:SOFTWARE. In particular I do not see "multiple non-trivial published works", nor does it seem to be a "core product of a notable software developer or vendor". It seems to be a minor, experimental product, still in early stages of development. A browser that does not support CSS and JavaScript would be severely crippled and hardly suitable for real use, as the image of Wikipedia front page shows. On the other hand I may be entirely mistaken. It's for the Wikipedia community to decide. Gabriel Knight 20:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - fails WP:SOFTWARE. No sources to show notability, and I can't find much through Google or Google News. Jayden54 21:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. The Google test is by no means infallible when it comes to a lot of topics, but when we're talking about a web browser, of all things, it's pretty solid. Just about all I seem to find on Google is a big bunch of links for downloading it, but that in itself isn't notable (particularly as WP:SOFTWARE specifically excepts that as a trivial mention). I don't think it's in early stages of development, though; I found references to it going back to at least December, 2001. It's clearly been around for a while... but I don't think that's a great reason to keep the article. If there was reason to believe that this was a very widely used piece of software, that'd be one thing, but what with the lack of features, it's more of a curiosity than anything else. We're not exactly talking about the equivalent of PuTTY, here. -- Captain Disdain 22:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete fails WP:SOFTWARE, but Google does give 120,000 results for "Off by One" browser. M1ss1ontomars2k4 ^{(T | C | @)} 19:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
