Harmony Assistant

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Most sources are Myriad's own website. Other sources include a musical artist's profile on MacJams, a YouTube video, a download site and reviews from unreliable websites that mostly just provide download links. Prod removed by the article's creator and editor, for whom English does not seem to be a primary laguage — they claimed not to understand the term "red link". I could not find any professional reviews of the software, nor any other reliable sources about it.

I kind of hate to do this since I've used Melody Assistant since I was 12, but it seems to fail the notability guidelines for software. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 19:32, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The creator dumped some "secondary" links on the talk page, but none of them look reliable either. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 20:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - No evidence that this is a notable piece of software. The sources don't really establish any level of improtance for it. ItsZippy ^{(talk • contributions)} 20:47, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The sources that were added are a strong indication of non-notability. SL93 (talk) 00:23, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I still do not understand the expression "Non-notable software by redlink company." In particular "by redlink company" is not a (UK) English known colloquialism or not even any kind of jargon that I might have come across before. Not even Google mentions this. However I can second guess that on Wikipedia all links to non existent pages appear as red, so maybe this is what you mean. However this makes no sense to me because a red link is supposed to be for notable subjects that have no page, whereas your - valid - argument is that this is an existing page for a non-notable subject. Non-notable as per Wikipedia:Notability (software) or Wikipedia:Notability (music) would have helped me more. Now that I have read both notability criteria, I fully agree that Harmony Assistant should not have its own Wikipedia page. Fgenolini (talk) 18:15, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Redlink company" indeed means that — the company, Myriad, doesn't have an article, so it shows up as a red link. The problem is you have added sources that are not reliable — YouTube videos are not reliable, nor are sites that merely offer the software for download.
