Delete, weakly. Interesting and useful software, to be sure --- apparently a database tailored to cataloguing archaeological sites. But if it rated an article, for a project of this nature, I'd expect Google Scholar not to draw a blank on it. (Spelling "Archeological" also fails; I tried.) - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 18:36, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Not hard to find 3rd party sources, e.g. [1], [2], [3], [4], [5]. These mentions indeed tend to be more "notices" than "in-depth reviews", but it still seems like plenty for well-used software. LotLE×talk 19:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per LotLE’s refs. Samboy (talk) 16:12, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

Delete Those sources all show that the software is used by various firms, but they are trivial mentions that do not constitute significant coverage in reliable sources. And one of those sources is a page at The Free Dictionary, which I do not believe constitutes a reliable source. A Stop at Willoughby (talk) 17:14, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
