[edit] Wiering Software
Nom - fails WP:CORP, has produced no notable software (WP:SOFTWARE), unsourced article since August 2006. Rklawton 16:01, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. See nothing notable, no software, etc. Philippe Beaudette 05:48, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Weak delete. Has several products, and this page could be a single place to discuss them all: Super Worms, Charlie the Duck, Charlie II. OTOH, these games don't seem notable (all are AfD at this time), and "a collection of non-notable things" is not necessarily "a notable container article". So need at least something of notability of the company or at least one of the games before I'd say "keep". DMacks 06:11, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Looking through the google hits for "Wiering Software", all I see is the company site and a ton of freeware/shareware download sites. What I couldn't find was any newspaper articles, etc. about either Mike Wiering or Wiering Software. wieringsoftware.nl gets an Alexa rank of 473,445 [1]. A quick look at the sites linking in shows a bunch of download sites, but no magazines or newspapers. So as far as I can tell, this is just someone who's written a few shareware games, probably makes a little money selling them from his website, but none of the published works listed in WP:SOFTWARE seem to have anything to say about him or his company.

- Delete per above. The article says itself that it's "small". --TeckWizTalk Contribs@ 00:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
