As stated on the talk page: I am not the creator of the stub, nor did I delete the initial message re deletion, but I think "DbVisualizer" meets the notability criteria for remaining an entry in Wikipedia. I am also in the process of adding some text and external links to the entry.
The software has a global following in the database community, and is spread in at least 112 countries (source: DbVis Software). Coverage on the web is fragmented, but massive. You get 339 K hits on Google for "DbVisualizer" in many languages, including Russian, Swedish and number of more or less exotic ones, while of course the majority are in English. The notability is also persistent over time, with posts dating back to 2002.
Please note that while the company behind DbVisualizer is a commercial enterprise, the software is also available in a free version.[[User:ChristerW|ChristerW]] ([[User talk:ChristerW|talk]]) 15:11, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
I placed a PROD on this article for having no third party sources - the prod was removed without any such sources being added, so here we are at AFD. I looked for sources myself, and I could only find the usual mix of howtos, press releases, and download sites that come up for nonnotable software. No independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] about the subject, so I submit that this article topic fails both the [[WP:GNG|general notability guideline]] and the [[WP:NSOFTWARE|guidelines specific to software]].

*'''Delete''' - no references listed, no [[WP:RS|reliable sources]], nothing suggests any notability or that this is other than just another software tool.--[[User:Rpclod|Rpclod]] ([[User talk:Rpclod|talk]]) 10:36, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
