The topic does not have a detailed independent secondary source and is also not compliant with WP:NSOFT. The sources used in the article are either blogs or simply software instructions. Nolan Cohen (talk) 21:18, 11 July 2024 (UTC) Nolan Cohen (talk) 21:17, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment. The sources presented above are either instructional guides for downloading software or lack in-depth, detailed coverage. Also, some sources have a promotional tone, such as the one on Deploying Visual FoxPro Solutions, which is not appropriate for Wikipedia. There are also sources that remain unverified.

    These instructional guides aren't just for downloading the software. I don't see why they should be disqualified. Keep Aaron Liu (talk) 01:19, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. The WP:PARTISAN clearly mentions that: "Wikipedia articles are required to present a neutral point of view. However, reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective." Of course, I am not urging to use the exact same tone or point of view from the sources. I have verified all the sources that I provided. I want to highlight that WP:SOURCETYPES mentions that, "Many Wikipedia articles rely on scholarly material. When available, academic and peer-reviewed publications, scholarly monographs, and textbooks are usually the most reliable sources." The peer-reviewed scholarly articles I provided in the sources, clearly mentions Inno Setup as a "powerful" and "popular" piece of software. Uvarun2009 (talk) 16:40, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. I believe the many references (shared above) most likely fulfil the first criteria of WP:NSOFT, namely that it is "discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field". It is featured extensively in books relating to development, often acknowledging its popularity or functionality (e.g. "First introduced in 1997, Inno Setup today rivals and even surpasses many commercial installers in feature set and stability"). Despite the significant number of such references, I'm not confident many are particularly in-depth. Nevertheless, I still feel Inno Setup is notable enough and that this is established.
