An unremarkable software package. It has no [[WP:R|third-party references]] to support [[WP:N|notability]]. Borderline advert. [[User:Wizard191|Wizard191]] ([[User talk:Wizard191|talk]]) 14:06, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
Gee, your way off base here. This is an open source project and is a very remarkable software and is activity being developed <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/209.65.78.60|209.65.78.60]] ([[User talk:209.65.78.60|talk]]) 14:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
We believe we have over 3000 users worldwide using this software. It is hard to count, as many of them never contact us once they are up and running. I sell hardware that is supported by EMC2, and have sold close to 200 of these systems.
*'''Strong keep''' If you look at the history of this project, you will see that it is more than just a software application- it is a project that is similar to Gimp, Firefox, or any other large scale project with a lot of momentum going towards it's development. The community of developers and users behind it have learned to work together in a remarkable way, that promotes continuous improvement. The project also has influenced other open source projects (and closed source projects for that matter) in the field of CADCAM software. --[[User:Ddfalck2002|Ddfalck2002]] ([[User talk:Ddfalck2002|talk]]) 05:02, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
<del>*Weak delete. I think this could definitely be notable in the future as development continues- and as more refs come available from the tech press- but for now, unless someone can provide independent refs (which I could not find in a cursory I-search) it should go.</del> [[User:Eskimo.the|The Eskimo]] ([[User talk:Eskimo.the|talk]]) 14:43, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

An open source project under constant development for well over a decade, I have been running it 5 or 6 years myself. It needs to be included on wikipedia. --[[Special:Contributions/204.111.67.76|204.111.67.76]] ([[User talk:204.111.67.76|talk]]) 10:45, 30 September 2010 (UTC)Signed by Gene Heskett
*'''STRONG keep''' I currently use EMC2 in an industrial process, to control a guing machine for photovoltaic panel building. I really think EMC2 is a "must be considered" software for anyone that have any moving machine to control at low-cost but still with excellent performances and possibilities. It has a very good user community, active developpement, the article contains lots of references, I really don't understand why it should be deleted. Please consider let it alive ! I can make the french translation of it if needed. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/82.253.206.218|82.253.206.218]] ([[User talk:82.253.206.218|talk]]) 11:08, 30 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
* '''keep''' Please, Wizard191, could you explain us why you wan this article to be removed ? It's a very new one, quite short for now, but sure it will be added lots of informations in the next days/weeks. For the moment, I think that the wikipedia 'run for references' way leads in an article containing more references lines to tech papers than explanation on the article purpose itself. Sounds a bit stupid, isn't it ? Moreover, I really do not understand how someone member of Metalworking group can ask for the deletion of a EMC2 related article, as this software is widlely known and used in the hobby machining/metalworking community, worldwide. And even used by proffessional metalworkers ! So please keep this article alive ! <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Bricofoy|Bricofoy]] ([[User talk:Bricofoy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Bricofoy|contribs]]) 11:41, 30 September 2010 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
* '''Strong keep''' '"unremarkable software package"' I suppose that is why so many people use it? Perhaps Wizard191 is involved in the use/production of proprietary software the competes with EMC2 <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/63.245.153.165|63.245.153.165]] ([[User talk:63.245.153.165|talk]]) 23:26, 30 September 2010 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
