  • Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software, but that's because I didn't bother trying. Joe Chill (talk) 00:02, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

    • You may well be right, AshtonBenson! But it's not (yet) supported by the article. If you'd like to see the article stay, what you need to do is find independent, reliable secondary sources that put forth the view you're advocating, and then cite them in the article.

    • Please note that "other stuff exists" is specifically not an argument against deleletion. Nor is your assertion that the product is "the most modern"; if it's not notable, or it cannot assert notability, then it fails Misplaced Pages's criteria.
