The Article looks like ot uses only primary resources/references. It uses Pale Moon and Mozilla Pages only. The article needs more resources. Adriem914 (User talk: Adriem914) 12:04 31 August 2021 (UTC)

  • Delete The Article does not show a good type of resources, only primary resources. It uses other sources, but it is not enough and good. Adriem914 (User talk: Adriem914) 12:08 31 August 2021 (UTC)

  • Comment Added AfD template and added to daily log. No comment on the AfD itself at this time. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:19, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This is a nonsense request for deletion. Most likely as a result of heated discussion about licensing of a fork that is occurring on GitHub at the moment and having some very questionable elements attacking developers and the project as a result. Please do not delete the page. The project is long-standing, actively developed and maintained; potential quality improvements to references are not of significant enough level that it warrants deletion.

  • Keep This is a fairly active project that is important enough to be the subject of numerous Internet discussions. It may be true that much of that history is connected with Mozilla and the project itself, but I do not think that fact invalidates the existence of this article. 47.184.130.136 (talk) 18:54, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Disagreeing with the actions of the developers of a software project is not a valid reason to delete the Wikipedia article of said project. 192.24.234.53 (talk) 19:01, 31 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep As others have already stated, this request appears to be in relation to disputes regarding code under the Mozilla Public License on GitHub[1][2][3][4] and dislike - or possibly an attempt at revenge - is not a credible reason for deletion.

  • Keep The rationale sounds like a WP:SOFIXIT to me. I'm fine with Basilisk getting deleted or merged to this article, but to delete this one? Nope, not a chance. It's also interesting that this AfD comes right after someone posted a reddit post about Pale Moon devs "abusing" the Mozilla Public License...

    SeaMonkey also has a lot of primary sources. Why don't you go AfD it? Oh, you can't, because it's a notable part of Mozilla's history. But this can't be the case for Pale Moon? Come on. --pandakekok9 (talk) 02:54, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
