[edit] QuickBooks

Contested prod. Accounting software, with no references other than its own website. It reads like a marketing blurb and plausibly a copyvio, and appears to be promotive rather than encyclopedic. >Radiant< 10:53, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep but complete rewrite -- QuickBooks is a popular accounting software in the US. However I agree the article reads like an ad. I say take a slash-and-kill approach of editing: delete most of the content, call it a stub and let it grow again. Guroadrunner 11:26, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Notable product, many sources should be available (I've seen it reviewed in the UK computer press countless times over the years). --kingboyk 13:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep if rewritten and massively overhauled. I believe the product is well-known and quite notable, but the article is in dire need of sourcing. Arkyan 16:04, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. QuickBooks is one of the most notable and popular software packages in the US. The only way verifiable sources couldn't be found is if no attempt was made to find them. RGTraynor 17:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - definitely a notable software package. -- Whpq 20:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per Guroadrunner, this is very notable but it does need some clean-upEditing Maniac 01:19, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep it is notable. While it does need cleanup this is not the place for it as messy articles are not a reason for deletion. Koweja 01:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Certainly notable. Article could use some work, though. Maxamegalon2000 05:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep The book QuickBooks for Dummies has sold 400000 copies. QuickBooks Pro 2007 is ranked #3 on Amazon. --Selket ^Talk 07:17, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
