[edit] Wildfire Server

According to author is still being written, but notability appears to be suspect. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 01:44, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

• Weak Delete - As proprietary instant messaging solutions go, it seems to be reasonably well known, but as it is, that article looks like an advertisement. Features include easy to use and easy to install? That's not an encyclopedic article - that's an advertisement. BigDT 02:01, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep and Expand It needs more info. ILovePlankton ^{(T—C—U—L)} 03:31, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Its notable, but needs heavy expantion.  Heltec  talk 
• Keep and expand a notable software package, but the article needs a lot of beefing up. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 04:09, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:SOFTWARE criteria, and expand. --Terence Ong 04:29, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - as per above. Another reason why notability is subjective, POV, and should not be used as a criteria for inclusion in or deletion from Wikipedia. Let the author expand it. DanielZimmerman 18:11, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notability is indeed subjective, as are most things - this is not a reason why notability is subjective, it is an example of possible subjectivity (though note the qualifier in the nomination). We have a policy, WP:NOT, which includes several subjective definitions of what Wikipedia is and is not. Even though WP is not paper, there is a finite limit to what should be included, and many articles are placed which are blatantly self-promotional and serve no purpose other than to give free advertising. In this case, however, the subjective measure of notability indicates that the product probably is notable, and an editor with a decent history appears to be working on it. Just zis Guy you know? 20:17, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep Hmm... It seems to have some notability, and if it is actually expanded I wouldn't see any reason not to keep this article. Beno1000 20:40, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Delete it's a frickin' ad! M1ss1ontomars2k4 23:16, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep and expand It is ok, just needs some expansion. Benjaminstewart05 12:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Im am working on that artical. Its not a ad. That server is one of the better jabber servers and I thought it should get a page. The artical is a WIP --Actown ^e 01:46, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep and Expand Needs more information than just features. - Nick C 13:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
