No notability at all. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS per this and this. SkyBon^{Talk/Contributions} 11:13, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This web browser article has been running for well over a year now, it has references and it appears to be a popular article to contribute. I found out about Runecats Explorer from wikipedia and I am glad I did as I use it as one of my main web browsers now.

I feel this article in relevant and should remain on wikipedia. Wikedit-34 (talk) 15:53, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not you find the browser useful or not, if it is not notable, it doesn't need an article... Captain n00dle ^T/_C 16:01, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Wikedit this browser is notable, it was the default browser at my work place, a lot of my friends and family use it, I don't personly use the browser and just because you don't doesn't necessarily make it not notable.

This browser is certainly more notable than a lot of the browsers on wikipedia, lets take a slightly more well known browser such as "AOL Explorer"- this is still on wikipedia, it has the same amount if not less references, i wouldn't really classify that as notable.

There are loads of trident and gecko based browsers on the list of web browsers section which are less notable than RE.

Runecats Explorer is notable, it's the first browser to try and reduce the amount of electricity used to save the environment, it was one of the first browser to have full GUI skinning, it is one of the most search aided browsers, It does deserve an article, I and many other edit this article, give information on the newest released, some people give information of the history and much more. This browser isn't a new browser it has been going for years, it has been going before Flock, Chrome etc...

Well I have got to go so that will have to be it for now. Softwareleaksrme (talk) 16:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How can you say the first browser to try and protect our planet isn't notable, the first search engine which did this has a page Blackle.com so why shouldn't the first browser. Think of our planet guys!

I don't usually edit Wikipedia, however when I saw this I was shocked. Why do you want to remove this aritcle?! Runecats Explorer is awesome! 92.3.176.225 (talk) 16:46, 26 October 2009 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]

Hey.. I did say I don't usually edit Wikipedia... 92.3.176.225 (talk) 17:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am with the crowd here, Runecats Explorer is notable- Runecats Explorer is rated a unconventional alternative to Google Chrome here: http://www.webtlk.com/2008/09/25/the-best-unconventional-alternative-to-google-chrome/

All of the other browsers rated here are all still on wikipedia, why should this be the only one which isn't, I am all for keeping RE on WIkipedia.

Note; the vast majority of keep votes appear to be from socks or SPAs. Two accounts have tried racking up edits outside of Runecats Explorer by adding blank lines to unrelated articles. Hairhorn (talk) 17:17, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note; HairHorn has undone one members argument

Yes, I rolled back an edit by Softwaregeekland77777 that deleted the above note. Feel free to check the history. Hairhorn (talk) 17:30, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To make things fair here is the quoted message which was deleted:

I do also believe that RE should remain on the best free encyclopedia (wikipedia), Earlier this year at my college we got given a project on an internet browser (my team got given RE), I used wikipedia for a lot of my information, after having to do research on it I actually tried it and it's actually ok, I still prefer Safari however I certainly believe that RE should remain on wikipedia. Softwaregeekland77777 (talk) 17:19, 26 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee-mcmay (talk • contribs)

Now yes I am a fan of RE, however that doesn't mean that I don't count, I also believe that RE should stay for everyones above reasons and more. and HairHorn don't victimize me because I mainly edit Runecats Explorer, Just because I feel passionate about the browser and like to edit it, so don't victimize me like you are trying with other members.

If this article goes I will be lost :(

I hope this case gets resolved soon

The level of suspect accounts in this debate is far too high. I have opened up a sockpuppet investigation here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Wikedit-34. Hairhorn (talk) 17:44, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Runecats Explorer have been going for several years now, and has been the first web browser with several utilities that no other web browser have even implemented yet. First of all, Runecats Explorer is being developed without much funding at all, now take me seriously or not, that is irrelevant. Runecats have also developed Runecats Explorer over several years now, it is older than for instance, Google Chrome, I have seen it around for years. I haven't seen any web browser with that many search engines built in and easily accessible from one tool, and there's a lot of notable things which makes this web browser unique. Whether or not one person finds this article irrelevant or not but this web browser does deserve a Wikipedia entry, and I'm baffled that Runecats still doesn't have one. Keep this article, Runecats and Runecats Explorer does deserve it.

Delete - Absolutely no indication of notability. No reviews from major IT news sources despite claims of popularity in UK and USA - and I have never heard of it before today. Article does look to have been subjected to a sustained campaign to make it look as if a lot of people are editing it. noq (talk) 18:33, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I am very sorry for apparently appearing to be a "sock puppet". I'm merely expressing my opinion. Runecats Explorer have been around for years, although I do not have any evidence for that, but I guess I could dig some up. I'm a friend of the developer, and we've been partners for years.. I'm not a "sock puppet". Please do not come with such absurd statements without at least looking up the IP. I vote for a stay, not only as a friend of the developer, but the fact that this web browser is unique enough to have a Wikipedia article.

Sock puppets?

Everyone except from me, Hairhorn and Captain n00dle seem to be sock puppets of one person (no or almost no contributions outside the article, complete noobs in en-wiki). SkyBon^{Talk/Contributions} 17:45, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dojan5 (talk) 19:51, 27 October 2009 (GMT+1) I've had this account on Wikipedia since a few years back. Everyone with an account probably doesn't add/edit/contribute to pages, you think? The reason for my activity in THIS article is because this is something I have knowledge about, claiming people to be sock puppets due to them not finding interest in editing other articles is in my personal opinion outright dimwitted. Investigate these people as you feel, but please do investigate BEFORE claiming something you do not have proof of.
