Unremarkable computer program. No indication of notability, the one reference listed is simply to a site where it can be downloaded. Fails [[WP:GNG]]. Possible COI as well. Contested PROD, contester claimed: "The software got many awards and well reviews," but I can find no evidence of this. [[User talk:Ravendrop|Ravendrop]] 20:22, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
*'''Delete''' Rather difficult to search, since the name of the software is such a common phrase (particularly 10 years before this product was introduced), bordering on a generic name. After careful searching through news and web, I don't find any interesting tid bits about this very, very new software package. Fails notability guidelines.

*'''Keep''' The program has good rating and success on two most popular software web-sites<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.softpedia.com/get/Desktop-Enhancements/Shell-Replacements/Shell-for-Windows.shtml|title=Shell for Windows on Softpedia |date= |accessdate=2011-04-16}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://download.cnet.com/Shell-for-Windows/3000-2072_4-11816232.html#rateit|title=Reviews on Download.com |date= |accessdate=2011-04-16}}</ref>.

::'''Comment''' Google search positions and download sites have never been considered [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], thus not eligible to demonstrate notability. [[WP:N|Notability]] is [[WP:V|demonstrated]] through independent sources that are independent of the subject matter, not websites hosting the product and profiting from advertising around it.

*'''Comment''' taking this as a grammatic phrase, the current title should redirect to [[windows shell]] or become an article covering MS Windows shell and [[windows shell replacement]], since that's its conceptual meaning.

*'''Delete''' no reliable 3rd party references to establish notability. As written above, download sites are not reliable references.
