[edit] Vncscan

Non-notable software. No mentions on either Slashdot or OSnews. Lots of Google results, but they seem to all be simple listings on software directories prompted by the company itself. Couldn't find a single independent review. Delete AlistairMcMillan 22:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete spam and lock it so the article can't be recreated chowells 22:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Why is that one spam and the other commercial links are not? Sbostedor 22:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Because those are widely-recognized, widely-discussed, widely-known tools, and this isn't. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • FWIW, I'd be very happy to see RM-X_General_Purpose_Control and possibly a few of the others on AfD too. chowells 23:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Spam for a non-noteworthy software tool. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 22:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Spam, plain and simple.SFC9394 22:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Ruud. "Why keep?" *applause* --Kinu 23:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Why do people think that their programs belong in an encyclopedia? Would you find mention of it in a traditional encyclopedia? Probably not!! Mike (T C) 23:22, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Ok, I stand corrected. I had no idea that this opinion was held by the majority here. I am sorry for causing this stir and I'm sorry for going over the top on Alistair. I am clearly in the wrong here. I will delete the VNCScan wiki and I will also delete any negative posts that I made about Alistair. Sbostedor
