The result was keep. Vastly improved by rewrite. Most of the delete comments were prior to the rewrite.--Kubigula (talk) 05:06, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

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

No notability asserted. No sources. Nothing to indicate this software warrants an article. Speedy deletion denied. Delete Exxolon (talk) 03:49, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

• Delete Seems more like an advertisement than an encyclopedia article. ("And much more...") ~ Carlin _{U T C} @ 03:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Delete. Mmmmmm... fresh spam! - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:23, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Appears to be the first and only open source (BSD license) PDF browser for OS X (correct me if I'm wrong). However, it is new, and likely with a limited user base. +mt 05:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - it looks and smells like a SPAM advert! WP:Advert. Rgds, --Trident13 (talk) 01:59, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Article has been substantially rewritten. It is still rather short, but it clearly no longer has an advertisement-like tone, and it is clearly references to four independent sources. This one now passes notability tests, even if the nominated version didn't. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 14:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

• Keep Rewrite makes for a much better article; no longer spammy, contains valid citations, etc. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:31, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Valid, concise, and interesting information. Asserts being the first open source pdf reader. Lazulilasher (talk) 03:57, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Asserts notability, with sources. --L. Pistachio (talk) 05:03, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
