Xodo

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Subject does not appear to meet the general notability guidelines. Google News produces no articles on this app; a Google search produces nothing that could be considered a citation. KDS4444^Talk 21:38, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can't see significant coverage in reliable sources, only download or marketing sites, blogs, forums, passing mentions and directory listings.—J. M. (talk) 02:26, 30 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
More inclined to delete, unfortunately, because I haven't found any considerably good coverage aside from here with some apparently non-related results here. I suppose it can be drafted/userfy if the user wants. SwisterTwister talk 18:38, 1 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: The first link is just a press release written by Xodo, posted on a website that simply publishes press releases by anyone who sends them and pays for the service. Anyone can write a press release about themselves, so it has zero relevance (this technique is sometimes used by similar companies for promoting their business on Wikipedia, that is, posting phoney press releases on "post-my-PR" marketing sites that they can use as references to "prove" their notability). There are a couple of minireviews that mention the software, the best one I found is this. But I would not call it significant coverage, and this particular source is a personal blog.—J. M.

Oh I knew, I was simply noting that was the best thing I found. SwisterTwister talk 02:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking independent WP:RS references. As above, a search turned up incidental mentions but no significant WP:RS coverage. Article was created by an SPA as possibly promotional. Dialectric (talk) 18:41, 15 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
