Topic of article unclear, VSD file stuck in toaster. Is this article about the general concept of viewers for Visio files or a specific OSX application? Because if it is about a specific application (as suggested by the alleged version history), it is probably the longest article ever qualifying for speedy criterion A1 (no context) — none of the links given allow us to identify which of the many VSD viewers the article is about. (I guess there are several, seeing for comparison List of PDF software.) To add insult to injury, this article is in Category:Classic Mac OS software, which is blatantly contradicted by dates in the version history.

Delete. The article is quite incomprehensible. It seems to be about a class of programs that open one particular file type that aren't the main program that deals with that file type, then it tries to turn into an article about one specific program with version numbers, but none of the references open... I pride myself on not being a complete idiot but I can make very little sense of this article and think we would be better off without it. At the absolute best it's an article saying "program exists to open files". › Mortee _talk 23:56, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
