I found no significant coverage. Wikipedia is not meant to be used as a directory of every known computer virus. Fails WP:N. SL93 (talk) 23:30, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep Found mentions in some books on Google book. Some internet articles talking about the virus. Though no media cover, would tend to vote weak keep as it is encyclopedic article. --Elton-Rodrigues (talk) 03:19, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete From comments, I suspect it only ever appears in "lists of viruses", never as an independent topic of discussion. Power~enwiki (talk) 07:39, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have you looked? AfD comments, especially strong ones, are meant to be based on more than a hunch, and it should be easy for you to check. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:38, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the cited references, both of which take that form; if any of the people mentioning "books" will give a specific reference, I would gladly check that as well. Power~enwiki (talk) 16:59, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
