Exact same rationale as the first AfD in 2017: "Non-notable, fails WP:NSOFT and WP:NPRODUCT all sources I could find were "removal" sites as well as YouTube videos and the like". Suggest to WP:SALT. JBchrch talk 12:35, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

- Keep: Contrary to the deletion nomination, NavaShield is supported by multiple independent and reputable sources. These include:
These sources provide independent coverage and analysis of NavaShield, establishing that it meets Wikipedia's software notability guidelines (WP:NSOFT / WP:NPRODUCT). No YouTube videos or unreliable removal sites are being used. Therefore, NavaShield should be retained. Yousuf31 (talk) 17:52, 16 August 2025 (UTC)

- Hi @Yousuf31: If you wanted to support reliability, you would want to provide 3 reliable, independent sources which discuss NavaShield in depth - linking to the home pages of popular antivirus websites is not helpful for this purpose. Thanks, Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:23, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
- Delete: Fails WP:GNG. The homepages of antivirus websites are not valid sources for this article. Even their internal databases presumably do not provide WP:SIGCOV. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 18:08, 16 August 2025 (UTC)
- Right, being listed or supported by malwarebytes or other sources is not a valid reason to satisfy WP:GNG. I don't see any coverage on Google news and what appear to be only passing mentions on Google books. Caleb Stanford (talk) 19:21, 17 August 2025 (UTC)
