[edit] Lampshade (software)

Lampshade (software) (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Spammy (but not blatantly so) article for a piece of software written by a person with a conflict of interest, also see the afd for Exponent Enterprise above. Only claim of notability in the article is that it is "downloaded over 1,000 times" and that's not very convincing. No sources in the article (none of the references listed in the article even mention this software). Googling for this is harder than the other article, but Google:"Think-computer"+"lampshade" gets me 78 hits, which are either directory listings or written by the software's creator. - Bobet 05:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Does not appear to meet WP:CORP or WP:SOFT criteria; leak info seems more appropriate for Wikinews, claim of a thousand downloads is hardly impressive. Heather 16:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. May become notable eventually, but Wikipedia shouldn't be used as a vehicle to make it so. -Amatulic 21:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Per nom, fails WP:CORP. nadav 02:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Failed the Primary Criterion of WP:CORP. There is no independent, reliable, non-trivial and non-autobiography secondary source about the subject to pass the notability criterion. The current references do not explain about the subject but other general subjects, such as PHP security, etc. — Indon (reply) — 07:57, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
