Non-notable "project management" software, part of a great morass of WP:SPAM. Contested PROD, rejected by an IP editor. Google News Search archives yield only links to download pages, press releases, and links to specialist computing sites of limited circulation and interest. This page has been speedily deleted 4 times before as obvious advertising, suggest salting to prevent re-creation. Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:54, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Per this, this, this, and this. Joe Chill (talk) 20:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any consensus about whether these sources you found are more than specialist or technical publications of "limited interest and circulation?" - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Saying that the coverage is or is not can only be based on someone's opinion which is why there is AFD. Joe Chill (talk) 14:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- [to Ihcoyc] This discussion is about a piece of software. Why are you quoting an irrelevant section of WP:CORP?--Michig (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2009 (UTC) As a 'product' of an organization perhaps? But as this is a non-commercial 'community' product, I don't feel that WP:CORP applies here, and the Google Books results hardly fall into the category of "media of limited interest and circulation".--Michig (talk) 14:58, 18 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree, that is clearly notable coverage. Clicking on the Google News search I find [1] and other reliable sources giving it adequate coverage as well. Dream Focus 00:27, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep. I've used it and it's really not very good, but the coverage is maybe enough to be kept.--Michig (talk) 08:05, 17 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep since potentially useful, free software should always have a place in WP. The article alone may attract others who can improve it, or upon it. -MBHiii (talk) 15:33, 19 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep sources exist to establish notability. -- Whpq (talk) 18:52, 21 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
