[edit] Zwook

Tagged for speedy as "promotional hype", which is regrettably not a speedy criterion. I couldn't find a direct copyvio, either. Anyway, I'd say delete as promotional hype. -Splash 02:19, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. It's advertising for non-notable software. Has no place here. Magicker71
• Delete. Fair enough. Looks like a diffuse copyvio: First para from [1], the eight reasons from [2], and the middle para's [more...] gives away that it's from some webpage. Tearlach 02:50, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete – I also agree with Splash. Current contents do not justify continuation of the page. --Bhadani 07:16, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Advertising. Geogre 11:27, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. If a real thing. I tagged it as a advertisement. It needs to be neutral, not deleted. mrholybrain 11:29, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like shill to me. -Some random Wiki user.
• Keep. It is a real thing - an Open Source project with relationship to the very well-known Zope and Python. Try Googling for sourceforge+zook. Since Open Source, totally non-commercial and I think copyvio can't be an issue. There are articles on less notable pieces of software. Could surely do with a rewrite to put it in context though.

• Keep. Non commercial, potentially useful. TheMadBaron 13:17, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Wikipedia does not allow advertising for non-profit, open-source, or any other products. I'm not trying to be scolding, but advertising is one of the grounds for deletion and always has been, and this would apply to a Red Cross appeal or the latest C# product alike. We don't assess the intent, just the performance. Also, Wikipedia is not Freshmeat.org. Geogre 17:01, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable software. / Peter ^Isotalo 13:23, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, even if the advertising is removed, it will still not be notable enough. — JIP | Talk 16:10, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Advert for random non-notable open source project. Aquillion 07:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
