Non-[[WP:N|notable]] software product. Proposed deletion [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Seahorse_%28JavaScript_library%29&diff=next&oldid=373459600 denied] by article's author (who appears also to be the software's author) with no edit summary or other discussion.
*<small class="delsort-notice">'''Note''': This debate has been included in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Software|list of Software-related deletion discussions]]. <!--Template:Deletion sorting--></small><small>——[[User:Korath|Korath]] ([[User talk:Korath|Talk]]) 19:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)</small>
*'''Delete''': Initial release: July 1, 2010... come back when the software is actually being used. It's highly unlikely that someone, in just two weeks, has noticed your project, downloaded it, studied the tutorial and has actually used the library in some web project. Even so, we require reliable sources to establish notability, which are lacking too. Wikipedia [[WP:NOT|is not]] a place to promote new software. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 08:51, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Is there anything that can be said about the history of the proprietary software prior to being open sourced? ([http://sourceforge.net/news/index.php?group_id=317587&limit=5&offset=5 source]). Is/was it used by big companies back then? If sources with significant coverage regarding that can be found, the software could be notable. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 09:07, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
**'''Comment''' Only if there is any [[WP:RS|evidence]] that the software ''was'' actually widely used prior to being taken to open source.
::*'''Comment''' It should be noted by those looking into this topic that there are at least three separate projects at SourceForge going by the name of ''SeaHorse'':
:::* The subject of this article is the project located at http://seahorsejs.sourceforge.net/
:::* There is a second JavaScript add-on library also using the name ''SeaHorse'' at http://jseahorse.sourceforge.net/
:::* There is a third ''SeaHorse'' project at http://seahorse.sourceforge.net/ that describes itself as a "Gnome front end for GnuPG".
::: This profusion of ''SeaHorses'' is likely to cause a great deal of confusion.
:::*'''Comment''' Of these, the third one has an article on Wikipedia: [[Seahorse (software)]]. - [[User:Simeon|Simeon]] ([[User talk:Simeon|talk]]) 04:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)
::::*'''Comment''' Not sure [[Seahorse (software)|that one]] deserves an article either -- it is unreferenced and does not show any particular signs of notability either. But that's a problem for a different AFD. (See [[WP:OSE]]).
*'''Delete''', I can find no significant coverage in reliable sources. --<span style="text-shadow:#DDDDDD 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:Nuujinn|Nuujinn]] ([[User_talk:Nuujinn|talk]])</span> 21:06, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
