Vanispamcruftisement. Contested prod. MER-C 02:20, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The software has won many awards. --Sbluen 03:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources appear to be 2 forum posts and a Wiki... not a good sign. --W.marsh 04:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Most of those review sites have no credibility and some are just saying its not spyware. Non-notable. Corpx 06:00, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete No reliable sources cited. kingboyk 08:14, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom, article also fails WP:RS (eMule used as source?). --Tinctorius 08:57, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. This software was reviewed on several printed magazines, in Italy (Internet Magazine, nov 2006), Japan (Hacker Japan, don't remember the issue, i have a copy in my apartment), France (SVM magazine, may 2006) and Germany at least. The last article, April 2007, it's 4 pages long, but since it is copyrighted material i cannot put it in the WP article. --Rejetto 13:12, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- What you need to do is to put in the reference, and translate & add a key sentence where the article discusses the importance of the software. Ditto for the others. When you have done that, it will meet the standard requirements for Notability.
- Weak keep, in the hope that you'll do this. DGG 22:35, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, that's what i needed to know. Can references be not an URL/link (being them printed), but just report the name of the magazine and other coordinates?--Rejetto 11:29, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. And yes, references can be to sources not on the internet. Printed references often have more weight than internet references due to the transient nature of web links. 212.181.133.116 13:52, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete spammy. --Infrangible 01:47, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep provided there are more refs placed there fast. SMC 05:08, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It appears to be more popular in the non-english-speaking world. I'm persuaded by that pdf of the article in April's c't - that at least should be cited, as DGG mentioned above. Smalljim 22:57, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
