Nonnotable software. Refs are from download sites Staszek Lem (talk) 00:14, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Normally I wouldn't mind Cnet if it was a review, but that aside there is nothing out there that is indepth. This one was recently released and while some newer released software gets quite a bit of press, this one has not. Fails WP:GNG.--CNMall41 (talk) 00:58, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete- 40 million windows users needing old drivers updated might want to find info on this tool. This means 40 million windows users donating the price of a cup of coffee to keep the lights on. It's only marginally notable, but could be improved. The problem with new software is it can gain critical mass quickly. I'd tag the article, leave it around for 30-60 days, then resubmit for Afd if it does not look to have a critical mass of interest. If and when this software gains more interest, we can recreate it if this is the case. DangerDogWest (talk) 06:46, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - the problem is, people who may "want to find info on this tool" will need to look at Wikipedia as it is the only site that has any substantial information on it. That being said, Wikipedia is not a place to host information. It is a collection of knowledge. Wikipedia does not keep articles around and hope they gain notability. Quite the opposite. Article should be deleted and then if it begins to gain "critical mass of interest" as you suggest, then the article could possibly be recreated. However, I am more than willing to change my vote if you can show me significant coverage in reliable sources, the cornerstone of notability.--CNMall41 (talk) 07:23, 24 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
