*'''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|<font color="#AAF"><b><tt>***&nbsp;Crotalus&nbsp;***</tt></b></font>]]</span> 21:15, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

***No, but they do help to establish 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|<font 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)
