The result was delete. Considerable efforts have been spent on rewriting the article to make it less biased; unfortunately, the issue raised by the AfD nominator – non-notability – has not been addressed, i.e no evidence was given by "keep" voters to establish the notability of the subject. External links existing in the article are either primary or closely affiliated websites. --PeaceNT (talk) 21:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Concerns have been raised via e-mail to the Foundation that the subject of this article may not concern a notable subject and that it constitutes an advertisement. Please remember to give justification and not just a "vote". Thanks! ~Kylu (u|t) 06:56, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete. Has WP:SPAM written all over it. Not enough third-party sources, the only external link is to the company itself. Rsazevedo msg 23:42, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Article has been re-written to give a less biased view. External links to other websites offering different plugboard scripts, as well as to plugsites have also been added. Like other articles it informs new users to its capabilities, as well as correct etiquette on how to use it. Chrisdb89 msg 00:04, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've seen it used in many places and while obviously the main use of the script is for advertising, the article itself (in its current form) does not resemble an advertisement. Notable enough to keep. Kixy (talk) 07:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
