Delete There is no evidence of notability. None of the "references" even mentions "SketchEl" at all. All but one of them are simply links to other software in a list introduced by "The primary tools are similar to other popular editor such as..." and the one other "reference" is a link to a page about Mobile Molecular DataSheet, the relevance of which is given as "The native formats used by SketchEl for storing molecules and datasheets are also used by MMDS (Mobile Molecular DataSheet)." Web searches also failed to find any independeent sources: just download sites, Wikipedia, etc. (It is necessary to filter out large numbers of hits for "sketchel", nothing to do with "SketchEl".) I originally PRODDED the article on 17 November, but the author put a "hangon" on it, and wrote a message at Talk:SketchEl asking that it should not be deleted. Clearly this was meant to contest the PROD, so I removed the PROD notice, and explained the situation on the author's talk page. Since then the author has done nothing to address the reasons for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

What is the reconsider procedure? SketchEl still exists and has been noted by independent people. E.g. Ref Ertl, P. (2010). "Molecular structure input on the web". Journal of Cheminformatics. 2 (1): 1–0. doi:10.1186/1758-2946-2-1. PMC 2827360. PMID 20298528. and Ref Villoutreix, B. O.; Renault, N.; Lagorce, D.; Sperandio, O.; Montes, M.; Miteva, M. A. (2007).

I am not affiliated with SketchEI myself. Egonw (talk) 16:10, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
