*'''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|<font color="#0000bb">Da<font color="#000066">rk<font color="#000022">•S</font>hik</font>ari</font>]]'''^{[[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.

**Additionally, the software is downloaded about 250,000 times a month.[http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=95717&ugn=notepad-plus&type=prdownload&mode=alltime&package_id=0] --[[User:82.32.176.228|82.32.176.228]] 15:40, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

* '''Keep''', this software is used by a large number of people (check its official page, and forums). Also, notice that it's a [[GNU]] project as '''Wikipedia''' is. --[[User:Tasco 0|Tasco 0]] 17:27, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

** How does that make it notable? --[[User talk:Iamunknown|Iamunknown]] 18:06, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
