Article on a piece of software, contributed by an editor whose account name resembles that on the two blog posts that are its sole references (and the first of which commenced "We are happy to announce..." indicating a proximity to the product). Although several listings of the product can be found, none appear to be substantial evidence that the product meets the WP:NSOFT criteria. AllyD (talk) 21:35, 25 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete This is a relatively new blog/news reader released in June 2012. In a Google search, I found a number of webpages announcing the software, some of which were lightly editied versions of the original announcement. I could not find any in-depth references about the software that were not connected to the author of the software. I agree with the nom that there are likely conflict of interest issues, see WP:COI for details. This is likely a case of WP:TOOSOON; not enough time has passed for the software to be reviewed by third parties to generate the needed independent sources needed for notability. When such in-depth reliable secondary sources appear, recreation of te article is reasonable. Mark viking (talk) 13:45, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Agreed, my searches through Google News provided nothing and the website suggests this is a rather small product as there isn't much information. SwisterTwister talk 21:03, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - article lacks sufficient 3rd party references to establish notability; created by an SPA as possibly promotional. Dialectric (talk) 03:05, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
