AfDs for this article:
- AbsoluteTelnet (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Per consensus at DRV this article has been relisted to discuss whether the new sources put forward in the DRV overcome the reasons for deleting in the previous AFD. As this is a procedural nomination by the closing admin I have no opinion in this matter, Spartaz Humbug! 15:41, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- These also print sources were alsoi submitted during the AFD
- Keep - notability threshold met with additional sources, however it should be re-written to reflect sources and notability reasons. If this not done by the time this AfD is closed then speedy delete, as no claim of notability is made in the article.--Cerejota (talk) 03:01, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- I've updated the article with these and other references. Any comment?--Brian Pence (talk) 22:22, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep. I think the ISP Planet article is the best source as it is actually a full article about the product. I am not too keen on the non-RS reviews. I remain worried about the potential COI with Brian writing about his own product. I would like to see him get it to a basic state which acceptable and then leave it for others to expand on. --DanielRigal (talk) 16:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
