The result was Delete. (I used to work in radio and can confirm that this is popular software, but also can confirm in final due diligence that it had no meaningful hits in ProQuest and LexisNexis.) czar ⨹ 04:40, 10 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Community radio radio ain't chopped liver. It's a vital part of their very infrastructure. kencf0618 (talk) 00:11, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Spinitron is not about software! Spinitron is an organization providing a critical online utility to community and non-commercial radio stations, broadcasters, agents, recording labels and yes, music listeners, enthusiasts and fans.Robmacclanahan (talk) 18:10, 26 November 2014 (UTC) — Robmacclanahan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete - Whether the article is on the software, the service, or the company, the issue is one of notability, WP:N. Right now, the only significant, possibly independent coverage is the backboneradio.com review. The COPYRIGHT ROYALTY BOARD legal filing is not useful for establishing notability. Articles typically need significant coverage in more than one independent source. This threshold is not currently met for spintron.Dialectric (talk) 01:22, 29 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete: I'd write this off as adspam if the article creator wasn't a longstanding editor with thousands of good edits. Whether this service is a "vital part" of the "very infrastructure" of community radio doesn't matter a hoot, though: it's whether the subject demonstrates enough notability to qualify for a Wikipedia article. With just a handful of passing mentions on news hits, and zero newspaper hits, the answer is "No." Nha Trang ^Allons! 21:03, 3 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
