The result was speedy keep — nomination withdrawn after discovery of a very recent good source for articles. Non-admin closure. MuZemike (talk) 04:34, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Kerio MailServer (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View log)
Article lacks significant reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline. In addition, article also fails WP:WEBHOST or WP:ADVERT (depending on how you look at it) because of the structure of the article. MuZemike (talk) 17:45, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have also nominated the following similar articles for deletion for the exact same reasons I have stated above:
- Scalix (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)
- Zimbra (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

- Strong keep for Kerio and Zimbra: Both are major players in the turnkey mail & groupware server market. Both widely reviewed in mainstream IT publications as serious competitors to MS Exchange. The articles could be improved but neither is remotely spammy.
Weak keep for Scalix: Not as high profile as the other two but I have heard of it and it is used and taken seriously. Its HP pedigree surely counts for something? It isn't some random piece of non-notable freeware.
If I was looking to delete articles on non-notable software I certainly would not have started with these pretty major packages. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply] - Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- VG ☎ 02:06, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep for all Only yesterday were Scalix and Zimbra seen in the news [1] and Kerio MailServer is industry recognised. The articles need improvement to bring them in line with the wikipedia guidelines. Deletion is not the answer. --Hm2k (talk) 02:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
