Notability has not been established under the software criteria. PROD was removed without explanation. It would be great if this AfD did result in notability being proven but it is not my area of expertise. Sitush (talk) 09:54, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. This article is by a new editor and is being actively improved with assistance; it may be too early to draw a firm conclusion on keep/delete and personally I'm going to see what this article is like in a few days before !voting. Kim Dent-Brown ^(Talk) 11:13, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions.

Delete as premature at the very least. Google News, Books, and Scholar have never heard of it. Odd original research and essayish passages in the text:

All that with a (very noticeable) exception: IdM. Nothing seemed to be found throughout the all Internet that was implementing what needed to fulfil customers' requirements.

At that point it became clear that the only way out was to respond to one of mostly heard sentences in modern IT: "Do you pine for the days when men were men and wrote their own device drivers?"

So, at the end, why Open Source? Because it's better!

Since this was released this month, I'm not sure this has had time to be genuinely notable. It does not get a pass just by being open source software. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
