No indication of notability. Mostly unreferenced; sources and massive farm of external links are only to the software provider's website. A search for better references turns up only sales and download links, and some user-generated content ([1]), nothing at all ([2]), or very brief, passing mentions ([3]). Also more than a bit promotional. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 23:59, 3 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. I can't find dispassionate, reliable sources that discuss this in-depth. Nice sales brochure! 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 05:00, 4 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete – sources found and understood do not pass notability guidelines: [4] (passing mention), [5] (non-independent), [6] (multiple passing mentions). Google Books & Scholar search turns up lots and lots of passing mentions in more technical works. UnnamedUser (talk) 03:04, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete since subject fails criteria for independent notability and also WP:NSOFT. This is no more than a promotional piece of text, which, in years previous, before more stringent measures were adopted, managed to masquerade as a Wikipedia article. An interesting fact: Τhe creator of the contested page, who's also its major contributor, has made few other contributions to Wikipedia in the space of ten years; has a user page that redirects to the NumXL. -The Gnome (talk) 13:32, 10 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
