This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Software. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Software|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Software. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This article is a brochure for an "electronic medical record platform" that isn't even a decade old. This appears to be generated by an LLM as well. I can't see a world in which this satisfies the notability criteria for companies. MediaKyle (talk) 12:35, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Wikipedia is no place for LLM generated ads. CabinetCavers (talk) 15:12, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
- Keep. Reasons:
- Independent journalists with decades of experience covering Canadian healthcare have covered them.
- Ava was named nationally a “Company to Watch” by Deloitte in its Technology Fast 50 program and received coverage from relevant media.
- Canada Health Infoway listed Ava as one of its 2025 Vendor Innovation Program winners, which is also national recognition. A company’s age is not a determining factor on Wikipedia.

Fails WP:NCORP. To satisfy the WP:NCORP notability guideline, a company needs to have multiple reliable sources that provide in-depth coverage of the company, and these sources should not just regurgitate press releases, company announcements (including product announcements), executive interviews, or whatever else the company has to say about itself.
The mention in "Best Workplaces 2025" fails WP:ORGTRIV. Every other source in the article relies almost entirely on company announcements and interviews with executives, failing WP:ORGIND. I couldn't find any better sources. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 01:46, 7 November 2025 (UTC)

Not yet notable per WP:Product or WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE search turned up only routine academic coverage, and nothing in GBooks. The Manzano book cited is an 80-page self-published reference, with the shown ISBN not found in searches of Karlsruhe or Worldcat. The project itself was moribund in 2010, then nine minor commits were made to master between this month and last. The merge proposal to a non-existent article looks like it's about to be procedurally closed shortly. Wikishovel (talk) 11:12, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Computing and Portugal. Wikishovel (talk) 11:12, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
- I believe that Portugal was tagged incorrectly. The name Portugol is a combination of three words: Portuguese, Algol, and Pascal — (PORTUguese, ALGOL, and PascaL). Algol and Pascal are programming languages. G-Portugol was created by a Brazilian. Marcelo Jorge Vieira (metal) (talk) 14:30, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

- There are two books in Portuguese:
- - Algoritmos - Lógica para Desenvolvimento de Programação Imperativa de Computadores
- - G-Portugol Programação de Computadores em Português
- The project is being maintained in Debian. It is included in all the latest stable versions of Debian. It is a stable project, which is why it has few changes. Recently, the “gportugol” GitHub repository was created to host the contributions that were previously only available in Debian, as well as to welcome new contributors.

- The publisher of the first book listed is LTC, which appears to be a well-established publishing house in Brazil. The book is about algorithms for imperative programming, not about G-Portugol, but its description on Amazon, roughly translated, says: "The appendices present the resolution of some fixation exercises and examples of coding written programs interpreters of algorithmic languages, such as VisuAlg, Portugol Studio, Portugol Online, G-Portugol and ILA".

- Do Not Delete: Hi, I'm the original author of this article and it already went through this process several years ago. I originally wrote the article about the company Nacsport. It was decided by the Wikipedia community that the "company" Nacsport was not notable. That is why it was deleted previously. I then worked with the community to get the article to a point where it was acceptable, the first change being to move the focus from Nacsport being a company to it being a piece of software. It was decided by the community that as a piece of software, the article was acceptable and it passed notability after considering the size of the soccer clubs Nacsport worked with.
- Regarding the COI mentioned above - at the time of writing, there was no COI. I wrote the article because I wanted to learn a new skill. Nacsport was one of the few international companies operating where I live in the Canary Islands. I chose to write about precisely because, in my opinion, it IS a notable company. Subsequently, after managing to get the article published, they offered me a job. So, I accept that NOW there is a COI, but before, there wasn't. Because of this, I have not edited the article since I got the job. The only thing I changed yesterday was the most current software version, which I didn't think would be a problem -- DuncRitchie
- I have reread this five times over and I really have no idea what you expect anyone here to do with this information. The very first sentence of the AfD rationale is "This does not even come close to meet [sic] WP: GNG" and not a single sentence of this two paragraph rant addresses the lack of proper sources, which is the fundamental issue with the article.

The only source for the site is a Medium article which is WP:SPS posted 1 day ago. There was also an article on DeshCrux.com, a website I have only seen used by paid article writers, but that article has mysteriously vanished. I have not been able to even load the website itself since seeing this article and can find no archive of it looking like the screenshot so on top of not being notable the subject of the article already doesn't exist.

Keep: The article meets WP:WEB notability. Onion.run is an open-source Tor gateway, similar in relevance to Tor2web, with clear technological and encyclopedic value. The content is neutral, verifiable, and non-promotional, so it should be kept and improved, not deleted. !Bech07 (talk)

These sources discuss its AI-based malware protection system, its user insurance policy, and its positioning among leading competitors such as Avast, Quick Heal.
The app has been recognized as part of India’s “Make in India” and “Atmanirbhar Bharat” initiatives, addressing the national issue of malware distributed via WhatsApp and Telegram. It has verifiable mentions in reputable English and Hindi-language media highlighting its technological relevance.

- Let's go through the sources!
- The first four are about mobile malware and scams in general, not about TraceX so these can be skipped over.

- August 22nd
- August 25th
- July 8th
- There rest of the sources come from TraceX's PR campaign in September and October. All the articles would not be considered reliable sources (WP:NEWSORGINDIA) and have very similar content. Because these sources are all basically TraceX press releases they would not be considered independent of the subject either.

KeepWhile it’s true that TraceX Guard’s distribution is currently limited to direct APK downloads, availability on app stores is not a requirement for notability under WP:SOFT or WP:GNG.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Bech07 (talk • contribs)
- Delete I agree with the source assessment above, and I cannot find any reliable sources myself. The reliable sources currently in the article are not about TraceX at all, but about the problem of malware APKs in general.

Furthermore, there are significant studies that indicate that the work of computer scientists at IBM at that time laid the foundation for the development of the XML markup system in subsequent years.

It is both the industry-standard Entrepreneur, Forbes, TechCrunch and other publications, which have written rather adequate (in "length") coverages about this corp, as well as the fact that Leena is evidently amongst the world's top handful AI companies in its niche (conversational and/or agentic) in terms of global market reach and product dev.

- Comment Just to say that a previous article on this subject, albeit at a slightly different title, was deleted only a few weeks ago, following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lovable. Speaking of different titles, whether due to intentional titlegaming or not, this has gone round the houses: in addition to the current title and Lovable, there has been content at Lovable Labs, Draft:Lovable Labs Inc., Lovable (platform), and possibly elsewhere. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:58, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
Delete Not sure why this was recreated after a recent deletion. Existing coverage is largely routine business coverage + non-independent quoting of CEO/other tech executives. Beyond the Forbes article I don't think the sources provided by 4meter4 meet requirements for WP:NORG and even the forbes article quotes heavily from an interview with the CEO.
- TechCrunch Not independent as it is is largely quotes from the CEO/other tech people without little to no independent analysis.
- BusinessInsider Not entirely independent as it relies overmuch on quotes from CEO, though there is some added thought about traffic to the app.
- bdtechtalks Is a blog post and not great for reliability/verifying independence.
- Bloomberg Paywalled, but the opening lines make it clear they're using quotes from the CEO from an appearance on Bloomberg TV so not promising.
- euronews Mostly quotes company numbers + talks about routine business (funding rounds). No independent analysis.
- thenextweb Routine coverage of business growth with many quotes from CEO and not necessarily independent. Uncertain whether thenextweb is considered reliable either.
- Techcrunch 2 Only a passing mention as the article focuses on a different company (Anything)

WP:NORG only somewhat applies via WP:PRODUCT; but as we don't have an article on the company its not all that relevant to this discussion. WP:GNG is the standard for software programs.

- Keep - This is software seems has been through a few ownership changes from when it was a standalone company and clearly has been just a software package for the last 20 years. I recently updated the article to remove a lot of promotional material and clean it up. It appears mostly defunct, but seems to still be supported as legacy software package by its owner. Given the number of references, I believe it meets notability, if only from a historic perspective. Sargdub (talk) 01:25, 3 November 2025 (UTC)

- Delete. However, at it's currently written the article is unacceptable. Fails both WP:GNG and WP:NPOV. The software also contains many unsupported claims to its successes that can't be completely verified by the sources it relies upon. Many of the links are broken or inaccessible - such as those from Reuters and Business Wire - rendering any dedicated verification difficult. It appears the software did exist and was successful, but the article would need to be written again (especially to obtain new versions of its sources). User:Deathnotekll2

The article fails to demonstrate significant independent coverage per WP:GNG and WP:ORG.

- Keep - I see the concern, but if you look at the sources of some of the other Wikipedia articles on venture capital firms, they do tend to be from tech media publications or similar (Tech.eu, TechCrunch etc.) and most of the information in the articles relates to funding rounds which the venture capital firm either raised or contributed to. I would claim that is just the nature of the business and where the most important information on venture capital firms can be found. Some examples: Acton Capital, Newfund, Iris Capital, and many more at List of venture capital firms. Commissaress (talk) 13:50, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
- WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not an argument for keeping the page. Plenty of venture capital firms do get signficant coverage in reliable pages. If there are other pages that don't meet those standards, they will likely be nominated for deletion eventually.

Keep The article satisfies WP:ORGCRIT, WP:CORPDEPTH, and WP:GNG, and is fully consistent with WP:NCORP. The company has received significant, independent, and analytical coverage from multiple reliable sources, including L’actualité, La Tribune and Le Nouvelliste. These articles provide in-depth business analysis over several years (2020–2025), which goes well beyond the non understandable “routine announcements” mentioned in the votes above.
