As far as I can tell, I don't think Deep Freeze is notable. Sources that relate to this program seem either completely hidden or nonexistent. The article has only relied on three main sources (two of which are just from the website of the company that made the program) for about a decade now. Article has had the same maintenance templates explaining this for 12 years [1] with little improvements made to the article; I think it's a safe bet at this point to assume that no improvements can be made given the little coverage on the program.

- Delete — I can't find any secondary sources about this. Does not seem to pass WP:GNG or WP:NSOFTWARE. PopoDameron talk 01:07, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

- Delete article is promotional and lacking sources to meet WP:GNG. Fad Ariff (talk) 12:15, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
- Leaning merge to Reboot to restore software — through archive.org, I found around a dozen passing mentions in computer magazines and tech news sites, a few very short reviews, one independent usage manual,[2] and just one proper-length article, in the German tech press[3]. Seem to be mostly used by libraries and schools. Don't think we have enough for a standalone article, but it might merit a paragraph at the article I link. DFlhb (talk) 01:27, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
- Sort of disagreeing simply because Reboot to restore software has its own issues. Don't entirely know how much it would be worth to merge this into an article that could very well end up being deleted for its own reasons. Dawnbails (talk) 16:29, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
