Appears to be non-notable software due to lack of sufficient coverage. Previous AfD in 2009 ended with no consensus, and none of the links provided in that discussion seem like suitable sources. External searches did not yield suitable sources as well. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 03:01, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: In the previous AfD, the following sources were found: 1, 2, 3 and 4. Admittedly I'm not familiar with software-related journalism, but those coverage do look like software download pages or one of the countless "# of best software for X" lists. Honestly I want to know what the community think of this article Tutwakhamoe (talk) 03:04, 13 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Article fails WP:GNG, WP:NSOFT, and WP:NORG. This is churnalism, this is trivial, finally this and this are nothing more than a brief description on a download page; none of those show notability for the article's subject. - Aoidh (talk) 02:15, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Comparison of image viewers. It makes sense that it would have been kept in 2009, because it was relatively current then, but if it hasn't been maintained in 15 years and there's been no continuing coverage then it's not really notable (I used KDE for a while and I've never heard of this program). jp×g 09:15, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. I don't think a redirect to the comparison article would do much, as the inclusion criteria seems to be having a Wikipedia article. SWinxy (talk) 08:16, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
