- Retroshare Instant Messenger (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
Non-notable piece of free software. No references in Google News archive, Technorati search returns only 10 hits for "retroshare", most of which are either non-notable blogs or file download portals. No indication that this software is in anything other than niche usage. Chardish 16:46, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Deleting is nonsense, remove tha tag! Every downloadportal has retroshare, it is a Sf-Net TOP 200 Project., even more popular than lame mp3 codec or amule. It is technically a new serverless protocol for Instant Messaging, which is discussed in several pc magazines.
- A few hints here, since you're new:
- Register an account before editing - it makes your voice more respected, especially in deletion discussions, where moderators are likely to ignore the comments of unregistered users.
- Sign your name when you post by typing ~~~~.
- Read Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions for a better understanding of why things get deleted.
- The tag will not be removed until the discussion is complete. That's why it says on the page not to remove it.
- Happy editing! - Chardish 22:13, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I think as it stands, the article is an inch away from A7 or G11. While it may not qualify for speedy, it should nevertheless be deleted. Rockstar (T/C) 22:32, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
