[edit] Quik (boot loader)

Notability per WP:SOFTWARE is not apparent, Wikipedia is not Sourceforge. Sandstein 14:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable. Edgar181 15:06, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Mirror Vax 20:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep How is this NOT notable? Lots of google hits, mentions in gentoo's install manual, has notable features (not requiring a MacOS partition). If you are going to delete this you might as well delete GRUB and LILO. kotepho 01:26, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Abstain as article creator. The bootloader situation is a little strange, as very few of them really qualify as notable (GRUB and LILO are obvious exceptions). I put it in mostly because it's the follow-up to BootX; I actually don't run PPC Linux so I can't say how common it is. Haikupoet 03:56, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep: WP:SOFTWARE is "a proposed Wikipedia policy, guideline, or process," and is thus not binding. Even if WP:SOFTWARE is binding, it is far from clear that this article doesn't meet the draft criteria. Simon Dodd 14:08, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
