:*{{Ping|Qwertyus}} The MSDN article is about something with a similar name but not the same entity. Hint: The ILNumerics that MSDN talks about is free software. This one is non-free. See: http://ilnumerics.net/overview.html. I don't know if such a name collision can be legal, but a [[duck test]] fails here.

::*{{Re|Codename Lisa}} looks like there was originally a GPL'd edition; see [https://channel9.msdn.com/coding4fun/blog/Mastering-your-Net-Math-needs-with-ILNumerics this Channel 9 post]. The article used to say something similar: "After 6 years of open source development, the project added a closed source, proprietary license in 2011, aiming business and academic developers at the same time."

:*{{Ping|Codename Lisa}} It is the same software. You can find out easily by reading the content of the referenced article. ILNumerics were developed and published under open source license several years. This is (and will always be) available still - free of charge. See the references to nuget in the reworked version of the article. Thanks [[User:Numbers303|Numbers303]] ([[User talk:Numbers303|talk]]) 14:42, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
* '''Keep'''. Thanks [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] for bringing up the issue! The article indeed sounded a little advertising before. However, it would have been obvious by little research that a deletion would at least be controversal. Also, it is better to give the chance for improvement and discussion before considering speedy deletion. I appreciate your effort in helping to keep WP clean and in trying to be effective. Hoever, most parts of the article already contained useful information. I have just addressed the remaining issues and reworked the article.
