- AfterLogic XMail Server (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Was up for PROD as a non-notable product. DePRODed without comment. No RS references. I am not seeing RS coverage in the first few pages of Google searching, just primary sources and download sites. DanielRigal (talk) 10:53, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: per nom as the editor who added the {{prod}} nomination, subsequently removed by article creator. Toddst1 (talk) 13:48, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - my search has the same result as nom's - I don't see notability. The author's talk page discloses an SPA account adding material about AfterLogic Corporation (deleted as spam), AfterLogic WebMail (also at AfD) and this product. User has been given a level 3 warning, and has not created any new article since. JohnCD (talk) 15:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Delete Non-notable product also probably breaches WP:COI. Acebulf (talk) 01:44, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep I get 13.700 Ghits for "AfterLogic XMail Server". Overwhelming majority are independent, and I see no reason to assume that the info on the page should not be factually correct, it is certainly verifiable by tech buffs. With the many hits, I assume that the product has such a penetration in the Linux (or whatever) community that a Wikipedia article is warrented. I see no promotion, advertising or spam. Maybe it's a WP:SPA, maybe the creator has WP:COI - and that should definitely have been disclosed by the editor - but I cannot see that this has influenced, skewed or tainted the article, factual as it is. I cannot see that own interest have been advanced at the detriment of the interests of Wikipedia. I'm likely a minority around here, but tag with refimprove and keep Power.corrupts (talk) 12:24, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The overwhelming majority of those ghits are certainly not independent - they are download sites. If you exclude the word "download" you get a more realistic 70 hits (i.e. 99.5% of the 13,700 are eliminated) and after looking through the list I can't find one independent reliable source amongst them. There's also nothing from Google News. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:34, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
