[edit] Darimasen
This is software by User:Sudrien. Notable? Fplay 04:14, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

- For me a principal question is how to decide whether software is notable or not... This here is an alpha version and provides no binaries (according to project site). I think if any software project, however new, unfinished, and alpha, would be listed in wikipedia, it would become terribly overblown. What's more, the article seems to be written by the author of the software him/herself, which could be regarded as self-promotion. I suggest, the article should wait at least until the software is more developed and binaries are provided. Therefore, delete Ben T/C 16:45, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
- To decide, simply treat it as a product and apply the WP:CORP criteria for products and services. grep, awk, and sed satisfy the criteria. They've had third-party books written about them, for starters. DXLab (AfD discussion) does, also. Hdimage (AfD discussion) does not, on the other hand. Uncle G 18:12, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

- Thanks for the link. WP:CORP#Criteria_for_products_and_services makes it clear that darimasen is not notable. Ben T/C 14:11, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
