Unremarkable computer program. No indication of notability, the one reference listed is simply to a site where it can be downloaded. Fails WP:GNG. Possible COI as well. Contested PROD, contester claimed: "The software got many awards and well reviews," but I can find no evidence of this. Ravendrop 20:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- Delete Rather difficult to search, since the name of the software is such a common phrase (particularly 10 years before this product was introduced), bordering on a generic name. After careful searching through news and web, I don't find any interesting tid bits about this very, very new software package. Fails notability guidelines.

- Keep The program has good rating and success on two most popular software web-sites[1][2]. In spite of young age of program it is not hard to find it on Google[3]. 02:08, 16 April 2011 (UTC) This template must be substituted.

- Comment Google search positions and download sites have never been considered reliable sources, thus not eligible to demonstrate notability. Notability is demonstrated through independent sources that are independent of the subject matter, not websites hosting the product and profiting from advertising around it.

- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Comment taking this as a grammatic phrase, the current title should redirect to windows shell or become an article covering MS Windows shell and windows shell replacement, since that's its conceptual meaning. 65.94.45.160 (talk) 06:12, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
