The result of the debate was delete. Although Aguerriero (talk • contribs) did a good job re-writing the article, it seems AfD still isn't too impressed. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 12:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] R4U

I am the anon who protested (I removed the message because I didn't know how to protest -- I'm still finding my way around here, friends). I created the page because I wanted to give a link to the product download URL. If it violates Wikipedia policy, please delete the page. As for "strangely" not contesting the companion article, that was because I had not checked to see if it was listed for deletion.

Prod contested by anon (who strangely didn't contest the companion R4U Multilingual-English-Tamil-Telugu article). Advertising for non-notable product via a non-notable website. Opabinia regalis 01:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Addendum despite the recent rewrite by Aguerriero, I'm sticking with the nomination; it's better now but still makes no claims to notability, and sounds like a software plug (I won't say 'ad' since it's apparently free.) Opabinia regalis 19:31, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

"Prod contested by anon" is a phrase that should never appear in an AfD nomination. PROD is supposed to be contested if anyone, logged-in or not, thinks the article is worth keeping. Complaining about it on AfD is sad. fuddlemark (befuddle me!) 12:21, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep as I have re-written the article, added the software infobox, wikified, etc. I encourage participants to review the changes and revisit their votes. Aguerriero (talk) 15:48, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
