A Prod. There are, however, some sources on this so a wider discussion seems appropriate. There may be an appropriate article in which to merge the material. Listing is neutral. SilkTork *^YES! 19:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:BURDEN, multiple, independent, significant sources need to be in the article and it is the burden of the authors to place it. If sources are placed in the article while this AfD is still open any editor can request me to review this opinion. Miami33139 (talk) 19:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, significant torrent client due to the fact that it's the only major one for Symbian.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Towel401 (talk • contribs)
- That tells us that it is unique, but not notable. The homepage says it has 1,000 downloads which doesn't seem very high. A torrent client on a N60 seems like novelty, not notability. Miami33139 (talk) 03:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - The software is hosted on many sites, not all go to the project homepage. Its actually quite useful on a phone that has wifi, don't know the N60 does but it runs on all E and N series except the N900 86.43.88.90 (talk) 00:02, 30 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, the article is basic but describes the software correctly and from an objective point of view --AGtheKiLLER (talk) 08:15, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- But the article fails to verify that it is a notable subject worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a general directory of software. The article must show multiple citations to third party reliable sources making a claim that this software is notable. Miami33139 (talk) 19:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, As one said, it is the only Torrent client for Symbian. A simple Google search for 'SymTorrent' brings out many many results. In my opinion, thats being notable. Gagandeep (talk) 14:45, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- That lots of google hits makes something notable is your opinion, but it is rejected opinion by the Wikipedia community. Miami33139 (talk) 20:05, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE. Wow. Wow. WOW. I am seeing lots of votes here. Okay, so it is the only client for Symbian. So what? Where is the non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications? JBsupreme (talk) 09:34, 8 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Here are a bunch, scattered in each of the last four years; seems notable enough to merit a keep to me. Not every article is going to spring forth from an author's head, fully written. Frank | talk 23:23, 14 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
