[edit] Sobolsoft

Sobolsoft (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Contested speedy delete upgraded to AFD. Article fails to demonstrate notability per Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies): the subject of coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. It has 573,000 Google hits, but virtually all via promiscuously duplicated listings at shareware download sites. This is a single-person company that appears to have made it into Wikipedia via an actively solicited article creation: see WP:COIN#Something to keep an eye out for.

  • Delete per nomination. Not notable. 98.206.118.185 (talk) 14:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Though 'sobolsoft' gets 573,000 Google hits, which shows there could be some kind of demand for its products, I couldn't find the company or the software written up in any reliable sources. Thus there is no good quality information from which a proper article could be written. EdJohnston (talk) 14:09, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unless article has more sources. Dwilso 15:13, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete for lack of verifiability, third-party reliable sources, and general notability. --MCB (talk) 18:12, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete as per crystal clear nom. — Athaenara ✉ 05:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. The bidder on the RentACoder post has the same username as the creator of this article. Paid editing is never welcome at Wikipedia, that's why Jimbo banned MyWikiBiz and MichaelJCummings. And per above. MER-C 12:24, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
