This article fails to meet the criteria outlined in both WP:SIGCOV and WP:NSOFT. The sources cited in the article are primary sources, moreover, lacking comprehensive and authentic coverage of the subject matter. Additionally, the sources do not provide a thorough and detailed analysis of the topic, further diminishing the overall quality and credibility of the article. At this point, no sufficient secondary sources are available. Barseghian Lilia (talk) 09:52, 18 February 2024 (UTC)

• Redirect to Nullsoft: seems to fail NSOFT. Owen× ☎ 15:20, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
• Keep used by a large amount of software, especially open source software. Middleware like this may not be as well covered by traditional sources, but there are technical references out there and it's mostly developed outside of Nullsoft these days so a redirect would be misleading. 77.103.193.166 (talk) 14:28, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

• Comment It would be difficult to find coverage about many widely used installation software like NSIS. Installers are just uninteresting topics to report on. Another similarly widely used installer, Inno Setup also has only 2 non-primary sources, one of which is a guide and the other is what seems to be a blog in French giving a comparison of various installers. I could find similar sources for NSIS. Arnav Bhate (talk) 12:23, 25 February 2024 (UTC)
