Keep frankly I don't see any reason to delete it because it has lots of third party sources and hundreds if not thousands of people use it. Elppin (talk) 12:48, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've removed my prod because the proposal is contested. Nonetheless, I don't think this is noteable. The third party sources are just download mirrors, and frankly, these days that doesn't indicate a software is noteable. Is there some independent coverage of the software other than a download link combined with a description? Has it been reviewed anywhere? Are there sources that indicate "thousands of people use it"? If you have any such sources, please cite them in the article. Singularity42 (talk) 15:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're right that the third party sources are mainly download mirrors. However some of these download mirrors, such as this one have over 100 thousand downloads so I think its safe to assume lots of people have used it. Personally I think its worth keeping because I think the article could be improved and made more useful, but I wouldn't interfere if you were to put it up for deletion again.
