I'd say Keep. --Yrtneg T 03:18, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

FocalScope has been recognised for changing how emails are being managed in a business environment. This article in AsiaOne (Feb 12, 2008) is just one example[1]. It has also been implemented by global companies such as DHL, SingTel, American Express and Radisson Hotels to make their daily operations more efficient. I would say that changing how such an important communication channel such as email is being managed is notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.185.121.38 (talk) 07:12, 8 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - There does not seem to any journalistic or academic sources to support notability. AsiaOne.com is a marketing/advertising portal according to their about page: "AsiaOne connects marketers to a desirable demographic that represents the cream of online audiences." Unless it is determined that AsiaOne.com is a reliable source, or other reliable sources are found, the software does not meet the notability requirements of WP:NSOFT. - Mr X 13:31, 9 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, advertising: FocalScope's features allow users to manage large amounts of emails and tasks, collaborate, share information and monitor performance across departments and offices. Measurement and tracking of performance is based on customizable criteria such as reading time, response time, enquiry state and enquiry type....FocalScope is offered either as a Software as a service version or as an On Premise version. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 05:10, 12 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, AsiaOne is an on-line news portal property of the Singapore Press Holdings Ltd. Co. It carries headlines news from The Straits Times and The Business Times, and covers a number of topics, including news, stock markets, real estate, trade, conventions and economic statistics[2]. In addition, FocalScope has been recognized by other reliable media channels - such as Borsen (Denmark's leading newspaper[3]) and channelnewsasia ("channelnewsasia.com provides a premier source of real time news, videos, information and entertainment features. The satellite footprint of the channel stretches across the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia and Australia")[4].— Preceding unsigned comment added by Samira Holma (talk • contribs) 15 February 2013 10:52 — Samira Holma (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete 0 hits never seen that before. Just one of many .... like osticket, opensupports and count less others that we dont have pages for because of notability. Moxy (talk) 05:46, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, barely. I continued MrX' good work in cleaning out promotional content from the article. It is now quite short. I looked hard for references beyond those in the article and found none. Borsen looks like a reliable source. Most of the article is behind a paywall, but from the initial paragraph, it is likely in depth. The AisaOne article reads like a press release, but the Channel NewsAsia article reads like a news article, with discussion of privacy concerns about the monitoring aspects of the software. From the about page, Channel NewsAsia looks like a TV news channel. I could believe that it is an independent, reliable news source. So there seem to be two reliable sources with enough depth for the topic, making it barely above threshold for general notability WP:GNG. A barely notable topic with an article that has been mostly neutralized with respect to promotional content suggests that the article should be kept, barely. --Mark viking (talk) 06:10, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - just not enough coverage in reliable sources to carry it over the threshold (and of course the very title is a violation of WP:PROMOTE (and of course WP:SOLUTION). --Orange Mike | Talk 18:00, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails WP:GNG, insufficient sources to demonstrate notability. ukexpat (talk) 19:02, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - every appearance of being promotional. Deb (talk) 14:18, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
