Delete. Lacks reliable independent secondary sources to establish notability as required by WP:GNG. Googling, the only thing I could find were some mentions of very obviously different Owl Software in the early 80s. I couldn't find anything on this company nor can I see a reason why it even might be notable. Wikipedia is not for WP:PROMOTION. Msnicki (talk) 17:08, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is not significant software, so it doesn't meet WP:NSOFT (nor is it going to). -- BenTels (talk) 21:12, 30 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per above. I'd be interested to see more about how it works/is supposed to work, but that info is apparently unavailable for now. Zujua (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No coverage or discussion that I can find by any independent reliable sources, the article does not meet WP:NSOFT --LoudHoward (talk) 13:05, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
