  • Delete Wikipedia is not a place to advertise. Furthermore, it's also not an indiscriminate collection of information, or a directory. (→vishwin60 - is User:O in 3 days (possibly)) 23:40, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - yeah, looks like advertising at this point. If it becomes sourced and properly written I'd reconsider. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 02:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
  • week keep - there are other articles about virtualiztion software, maybe it should be merged?Statisticalregression 01:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per above, and because the external sources are not referenced; possibly WP:OR. Bearian 19:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Rewrite Has been mentioned in Linux Journal, an authoraitative publication about Linux, so it does satisfy WP:CORP that it's mentioned by independent reliable sources. The ad like tone can always be rewritten.--Kylohk 15:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The link above is just a brief paragraph saying "X have released Y which is a Z". Basically the magazine is just reporting on a press release they have received. I don't think that is what we are looking for when we ask for "reliable sources". AlistairMcMillan 23:45, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
