Tagged as speed y G11 (spam) but the article is not obviously spam, it includes a link to a very critical article http://www.searchenginejournal.com/?p=3829 - on the other hand, that article shows why a Google test is not going to be valid for this product, and no other evidence of significance is included. Does this pass WP:SOFTWARE? It does nmot look like it to me. Guy (Help!) 13:45, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Only one mention (do we have an article on every computer that is reviewed in a PC mag?), and not even a very notable journal. Not a db-spam, but a deletion nonetheless. yandman 14:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I wasn't very sure about the original speedy nomination either. By the way the 'critical article' you mentioned is already listed in spam blogs (or somewehre similar, I know I've seen it before). Anyway, this is non-notable piece of spam payware. --timecop 14:20, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete speedy, not notable, self promotion. Wikipedia is not an advertisement for useless products and services Adamn 14:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC) shoa[reply]
Weak Keep- I found the information interesting. It at least has some sources, I have seen many many worse articles out there. Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 14:28, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- The problem is that this information can go into splogs or comment spam or trackback spam, where as in this article it's advertising a commercial spam product. --timecop 14:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I went ahead and added a section to the trackback spam about this software, citing the searchenginejournal link as a reference. Now this can be safely deleted :) --timecop 14:48, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Yup, that sounds about right. Guy (Help!) 15:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Not blatant spam, but its existence reads as promotional. Merely being interesting and better than other articles is no excuse. Chris cheese whine 15:51, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
