No real notability claims. No reliable sources to establish notability. Similar article to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WavePad (2nd nomination) Dweller (talk) 17:54, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No assertion of notability beyond "it exists". As it stands this is nothing more than corporate advert. §FreeRangeFrog 18:41, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]- Keep - Sources found to establish notability. And I went and added them to the article, wonder of wonders. §FreeRangeFrog 03:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. A quick Google News search turns up 167 mentions, from specialist sites like PC World to the San Francisco Chronicle and The New York Times. Many describe it as one of the leading audio editing programs. the wub "?!" 23:11, 26 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, it is among the leading sound editing programs. It is a fairly popular low cost sound editing program maker. They are mentioned in http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5398560.stm and http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/4225856.html .Smallman12q (talk) 02:40, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep It also scores reviews or mentions at reviews.cnet.com/4520-6450_7-5020879-1.html and audio-editing-software-review.toptenreviews.com/goldwave-digital-audio-editor-review.html . FWIW it is also occasionally recommended by professional engineers at eng-tips.com. If it is mentioned by the beeb and NYT (etc) I'm inclined to say that wp:rs is satisfied.Greglocock (talk) 02:49, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
