- Keep - PCManFM is the standard file manager for LXDE, like Konqueror / Dolphin_(software) is the standard file manager for KDE, or Thunar for Xfce, or Nautilus for GNOME and so on. I don't see a valid reason for AfD. Toffanin (talk) 11:27, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Fame isn't required for inclusion in Wikipedia, and it isn't a valid reason for deletion. I've added a couple of references to reviews by Linux Today and Unixmen to the article to help establish notability of the topic. With no valid criterion for deletion and with likely notability, I recommend keeping the article. --Mark viking (talk) 12:55, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I am not going to argue with you, but a review from a blog called "Unixmen" typically does not warrant automatic entry to an encyclopedia. I will go further and say we should probably not have Wikipedia articles every time the Unixmen blog writes about a product. AMFMUHFVHF90922 (talk) 20:46, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I think that is a fair criticism. In the technology media there are a number of websites that I like to call "journalistic"; they are more than some random person's blog but less than a professional news outfit. I think Unixmen fits into that category of marginally reliable sources, in the form of a blog with a wide readership, but it is obviously a gray area and a somewhat subjective assessment on my part. --Mark viking (talk) 21:06, 21 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
