The sources included are either sponsored posts, primary sources, or articles where the topic is only mentioned in passing. The only good source is this: [1], and it's from 1992. There is also a user guide on google books, but I don't think it's independent from the subject. Mottezen (talk) 04:58, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

After nominating this article, I tried searching "omniback" on google books and got lots of results. Omniback is described in the article as the previous name of this software, before 2004. I'm now thinking that this subject is only notable historically, under a name different than the title. What should we do in this situation? Mottezen (talk) 05:11, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
- See whether it is possible to use those sources to make the article better. Consider how in-depth they are. Cite the good ones in the article. And boldface the alternative article title so that the next editor along spots this more easily. ☺ The question that you have to answer for yourself is, on the basis of what you have found, whether you still want this entire edit history deleted; and whether it now seems possible to write a proper in-depth article from good in-depth sources.
