No claims of notability, no independent sources [[User:Corvus cornix|Corvus cornix]] 21:04, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep'''; a Google search shows quite a few independent references. Many of the hits are blogs, but even so, that does help to show some level of notability in the Internet community, even if they are not [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] in and of themselves. And [http://blogs.msdn.com/powertoys/archive/2004/09/28/235517.aspx this post from a Microsoft developer] might count as a reliable source. Most of these blogs do actually discuss Notepad++ rather than simply mention it in passing. <span style="border: #AAF solid 4px; background: #11E; padding: 1px; margin-right: .5em;">[[User talk:Crotalus horridus|<fontb colorstyle="color:#AAF;"><b><tt>***&nbsp;Crotalus&nbsp;***</tt></b></font>]]</span> 21:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

**Blogs are not reliable sources. [[User:Corvus cornix|Corvus cornix]] 21:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

***No, but they do help to establish a level of notability. And I would argue that a blog hosted on the [[MSDN]] servers and written by Microsoft engineers could be considered a reliable source for Notepad-related subjects. <span style="border: #AAF solid 4px; background: #11E; padding: 1px; margin-right: .5em;">[[User talk:Crotalus horridus|<fontb colorstyle="color:#AAF;"><b><tt>***&nbsp;Crotalus&nbsp;***</tt></b></font>]]</span> 21:32, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' I've heard it mentioned a lot by fellow programmers. '''Strong Keep'''. [[User:Corpx|Corpx]] 21:21, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

**"I've heard of it" isn't a reliable source. [[User:Corvus cornix|Corvus cornix]] 21:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Delete''', I've tried it myself and it isn't bad, but apart from this [http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1593481,00.asp trivial PCMag blurb], I can't find reliable sources in English (there may be some in other languages). --[[User:Dhartung|Dhartung]] | [[User talk:Dhartung|Talk]] 22:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''', a Google News search even of just the past 30 days yields a result, and there seem to be a number of nontrivial mentions of the program outside of the official website. —'''[[User:Dark Shikari|<fontspan colorstyle="color:#0000bb;">Da<fontspan colorstyle="color:#000066;">rk<fontspan colorstyle="color:#000022;">•S</fontspan>hik</fontspan>ari</fontspan>]]'''^{[[User talk:Dark Shikari|[T]]]} 00:26, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

** Could you provide those? Otherwise it still does not claim notability... --[[User talk:Iamunknown|Iamunknown]] 18:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

* '''Keep''': to claim that this editor ''lacks notability'' seems unjustified. Just some examples for its notability: it has very active forums on SourceForge with over 10,000 postings, and also an active mailing list with 336 subsscribers and close to 11,000 archived messages. Traffic to the project site is substantial: http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/graph/detail-graph.php?group_id=95717&ugn=notepad-plus&type=prweb&mode=week&graph=1 Several NotePad++plugins are being developed, numerous translations exist, documentation, a FAQ, even branded merchandise - in short, this is a popular open-source project with a substantial community of developers and users.

*'''Keep''' - Article needs cleaned up—not deleted. --[[User:Hamitr|Hamitr]] 14:01, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' - Reasons as above --[[User:Gunny01|Gunny01]] 08:13, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

*'''<big><big>KEEP</big></big>''' Notepad++ is used by some many people (there have been '''3,882,680''' downloads [http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=95717&ugn=notepad-plus&type=prdownload&mode=alltime&package_id=0]) so it has great importance. Its article should be improved to reflect how good it is. There is no reason to delete the article. Some people even run it in [[Wine_%28software%29|wine]] as it is so good. The article is decent, and there IS NO REASON TO CONSIDER DELETING IT.

** Um, no it wasn't, have you even looked at [[Special:Contributions/Corvus_cornix]]? Probably not. Additionally, don't ask other editors to "save the article by voting at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notepad++]]" like you did at several editors' talk pages; this isn't the polls, this is a discussion to generate [[Wikipedia:consensus|consensus]]. --[[User talk:Iamunknown|Iamunknown]] 07:25, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
