Logical2u says when he or she marked the page for deletion that "it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject" but this is not the case. The article is about a web-browser. DanielM 18:03, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- How is the web-browser notable? Logical2uReview me! 18:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Please first refer us to a applicable guideline or policy about notability, if this is the basis for your marking the article for deletion. DanielM 18:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Okay, he or she says it is not notable. I think it is notable on its face. It is about a web-browser that is notable to the many people who are interested in web-browsers. Also the article was just started, give it a chance to be added to. Should it have been the subject of an independent published work?! There is plenty of stuff on Wikipedia to argue non-notability, why pounce on this? They break out the guest characters on Boston Legal for individual articles. Why don't you go get them for not being notable? I would like some others to comment. DanielM 19:04, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep - This web browser is notable since it's the only really modern for MorphOS, it's based on the second most popular Open Source webb-browser source (WebCore) and it's under active development. -- Henriok 19:47, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
It is notable in that it is the first working browser on AmigaOS-related platforms (MorphOS currently, will be ported to AmigaOS4 and others) to support modern web technologies like CSS and reasonable JS.

[edit] Cite templates
Firstly, we aren't referring to an interview on a website, we are referring to an interview in a magazine. So the correct template is "cite journal", not "cite web".
Secondly, the page Template:Cite journal clearly says the "date" field is supposed to contain the "Full date of publication"
Thirdly, linking the interview title suggests we are linking to the interview. But that link doesn't contain the interview it just points to table of contents for the magazine. Please note that according to the above linked template, the URL field is supposed to contain "URL of a copy of the article, if available online".
But hey, whatever floats your boat. AlistairMcMillan 23:31, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Article title
...Seems a bit off. If that's the program's official name, I'd think it should be capitalized. If not, "Sputnik (browser)" or "Sputnik (web browser)" might be more in line with our usual conventions. Just a thought. Shimeru 08:32, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
