[edit] TikiWiki
Fails WP:NOTABILITY and WP:VERIFY, there are no links asserting notability. Jackaranga 16:57, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Delete per nom, could have speedy'd by db-spam--Jac16888 17:14, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Speedy delete, obvious spam, plus the name is awful. Realkyhick 17:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

- Comment There are loads of articles like this about software, I have tagged many with PROD, but people perhaps affiliated with the software just remove the tag without improving, so I have to use AfD, sorry. I am going through List of content management systems to try to remove all the spam, that's why I have got so many AfDs and PRODs going on this kind of article. Jackaranga 17:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment, in case's like this you can Speedy delete tag articles, which is much quicker than PROD, giving less time for tags to be removed--Jac16888 17:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Comment as the article claims notability (e.g., an award given by sourceforge.net), none of the Wikipedia:Criteria for Speedy Deletion apply. JulesH 18:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

- If it's clear that an article's deletion will be contested in good faith, then it saves time and trouble in the end to take it directly to AfD.DGG (talk) 22:11, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Highly popular software, maybe the third or fourth most popular wiki server available. "About" 2.4 million google hits. Distributed with all major Linux distributions (which used to be a criteria on WP:SOFTWARE when we had it). Discussed in articles [1] [2] [3] etc. JulesH 18:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notable, reviewed by the Linux Magazine (USA) [4], 180 hits on Google Scholar [5], 23 hits on Google Books [6]. I know some of those hits just reference websites that used it, but some cover it specifically. Karaboom 19:36, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notable, I know that its used quite extensively here in the pacific islands. Agreed though that is horribly written and sounds spammy. --Xorkl000 21:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
- Keep Notable. Was a nominee in the [http://sourceforge.net/community/index.php/landing-pages/cca07/ SourceForge 2007 Community Choice Awards (most collaborative project). --Ricks99 23:00, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
