Software product with no evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 05:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Suggest merge of content into Open_Text#Offerings - and the same might go for the package's Host Explorer component? AllyD (talk) 19:31, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• if they do not warrant their own articles, i suggest placing a template at the bottom of the terminal emulator and ssh articles listing programmes of this type. google searches for other inter-connectivity, terminal emulation, ssh, and programming topics seem comparable, and show evidence of the package or components being used at large corporations and institutions.S3819 (talk) 01:21, 13 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - In its current stub like format I don't see an issue with keeping it. A simple gsearch shows it does exist and the article simply needs to be cited/referenced. Pmedema (talk) 05:24, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. This is a Windows software package from Open Text Connectivity Solutions Group (formerly Hummingbird Ltd.) which contains various network, internet, and Unix-Windows interoperability tools. This is pure back-office network administration material, and I don't see anything that looks like significant coverage of the sort that would verify that this is an important enough package to warrant a separate article. Books coverage seems to all be trivial mentions in lists of similar software, and News finds mostly release announcements. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:04, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
