Delete Wikipedia is not the place to "promote my OPEN source software".[1] AlistairMcMillan 18:40, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Recommend Deletion I don't seem to be able to verify notability so unless the software can be verified notable with citations. Navou talk 20:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Yet Another Internet Explorer Wrapper. Article doesn't say it's in any way notable, and cursory search doesn't reveal anything else either to say it'd be notable. Mostly getting completely unrelated google hits, no reviews or anything. Project page says the project was started in 2006-11-20, so it may be a tad bit early to start an article. Welcome back if it turns out to be a sneaky hit, though... --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 21:31, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is not Freshmeat, either. --Dennisthe2 23:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Query I'm confused as to what you mean by freshmeat. Could you clarify? Navou talk 23:44, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Response - Freshmeat is a software directory for free software of varying and sundry sort. See also Sourceforge, which is similar, but geared more towards being a development collaboration environment. --Dennisthe2 23:54, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Thanks, learn something new everyday.  :) Navou talk 23:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete Fails WP:SOFTWARE, WP:COI. —ShadowHalo 23:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

    • There are hundreds (perhaps thousands) of open source projects on sourceforge.net. Being open source doesn't automatically make a piece of software notable. AlistairMcMillan 16:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
      • AFAIK SourceForge.net hosts only open source/free software projects and nothing else. Right now, it says there are 137,905 projects hosted on the site. (I have no idea how many have progressed past "good idea, a logo, and committed a .glade file in the CVS" stage.) By comparison, we have 198 articles in Category:SourceForge projects and 23 in Category:SourceForge games (undoubtedly quite a few already existing articles that ought to be there haven't been added to those categories yet though)... WP:SOFTWARE remains a good idea on how to determine the notability in my opinion. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 20:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per above. Yuser31415 19:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
