[edit] Kat Desktop Search Environment

Kat Desktop Search Environment (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This project has been dead for over a year and the project home page has been shut down. Notability was somewhat arguable before, but at this point it appears that Kat will likely be a historical footnote in the development of Strigi. Additionally the article was written by the author of the software, which is a no-no in the first place. Scott.wheeler 12:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - if the project is dead, say the project is dead. If the project has turned into strigi, merge with strigi. — Omegatron 17:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Just to clarify, I'd argue that it's border-line on notability and I'd say the same with Strigi. i.e. the nomination wasn't because it's dead, but because I think it's below the threshold for notability and being dead isn't going to become more notable. Strigi will likely at some point be notable, but it would be a bit odd for me to suggest the creation of another article that also wouldn't meet the notability requirements to merge Kat into.  ;-) Scott.wheeler 21:00, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Just keep as historical information; may be in the future it will be useful. Is there another more suitable project to store it?. 87.217.176.154 23:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
