Non-notable software. Fails [[WP:N]] and no [[WP:RS]] are given. [[User:Basket of Puppies|<
*'''Delete''': I can't find [[WP:N|significant coverage]] for this software. [[User:Joe Chill|Joe Chill]] ([[User talk:Joe Chill|talk]]) 21:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
*<small class="delsort-notice">'''Note''': This debate has been included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Software|list of Software-related deletion discussions]]. <!--Template:Delsort--></small> <small>-- [[User:Joe Chill|Joe Chill]] ([[User talk:Joe Chill|talk]]) 21:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)</small>
*'''Delete''' per nomination. This is ''a GUI-driven software test automation tool for automating the testing of software applications''; a tool for computer programmers, apparently, and as such falling within the skewed-towards side of [[WP:BIAS|Wikipedia's inherent bias]]. Mentioning the [[Gartner]] "magic quadrants" in the article's text and making a plea for its importance ("''a recognition given only to those with significant market presence''") suggests clutching at straws on the notability front. Note also that this is yet another article that sprung full blown, complete with infobox, at its creation. - [[User:Ihcoyc|Smerdis of Tlön]] ([[User talk:Ihcoyc|talk]]) 00:22, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep'''. This software is one of the viable candidates for test automation. The Test Automation list contains entries of equal or less importance. For consistency, one either ought to remove all vendors or keep them as long as the article does not smell of advertisment. I added the entry and I do NOT work for SmarteSoft, but was missing the tool from the list of candidates...

**'''Comment''' presenting an argument of [[WP:ALLORNOTHING|all or nothing]] does not make for a compelling case to keep the article. What is needed is coverage in [[WP:RS|reliable sources]].
*'''Weak Keep''' - The software has been covered [http://www.itjungle.com/fhs/fhs092209-story09.html here], and more importantly in [http://www.ddj.com/architect/184415395 Dr. Dobb's] which is a well recognized magazine for software development. Also [http://www.sdtimes.com/link/28630], and [http://www.testmagazine.co.uk/2009/07/smartesoft-announces-the-release-of-smarteqm-version-2-2/] which are somewhat press releasish so I'd tend to not put a lot of weight to them for notability but in support of the Dr. Dobb's review, I'd put this over the notability bar. -- [[User:Whpq|Whpq]] ([[User talk:Whpq|talk]]) 16:48, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' Looking at sources above by whpq, the ITJunge is a press release reprint. Dr. Dobbs is a two paragraph review. Neither of these are significant. [[User:Miami33139|Miami33139]] ([[User talk:Miami33139|talk]]) 18:09, 29 October 2009 (UTC)
*'''Keep''' The sources provided by Whpq establish notability. The Dr. Dobbs source provides a lengthy two paragraph discussion that is solely about SmartScript; then, it compares SmartScript with another software. The depth of coverage in this article qualifies as "significant" coverage. Furthermore, [http://www.sdtimes.com/link/28630 this article] from SV Times provides some basic information about SmartScript. This article does not read like a press release (it does not contain promotional language) and is published by ''SD Times'', a reliable source.
