[edit] Retroshare Instant Messenger

Retroshare Instant Messenger (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable piece of free software. No references in Google News archive, Technorati search returns only 10 hits for "retroshare", most of which are either non-notable blogs or file download portals. No indication that this software is in anything other than niche usage. Chardish 16:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

• Deleting is nonsense, remove tha tag! Every downloadportal has retroshare, it is a Sf-Net TOP 200 Project., even more popular than lame mp3 codec or amule. It is technically a new serverless protocol for Instant Messaging, which is discussed in several pc magazines.

A few hints here, since you're new:

1. Register an account before editing - it makes your voice more respected, especially in deletion discussions, where moderators are likely to ignore the comments of unregistered users.
2. Sign your name when you post by typing ~~~~.
3. Read Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions for a better understanding of why things get deleted.
4. The tag will not be removed until the discussion is complete. That's why it says on the page not to remove it.

Happy editing! - Chardish 22:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I think as it stands, the article is an inch away from A7 or G11. While it may not qualify for speedy, it should nevertheless be deleted. Rockstar (^T/_C) 22:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
