I'm the person who supplied the initial version of the SmartGit article. Full disclosure: When I wrote the article, I was working in the company behind SmartGit, syntevo. I left the company a while ago, though. The article was written with full intention to comply with Wikipedia's policy; and in particular, to make the article informative and avoid writing a product advertisement. It's possible that subsequent edits have introduced some issues. After skimming the current version of the article, I would vote to Keep it, since the mentioned problems can be easily fixed, IMO.

Delete - No indication that this software is notable, as no independent RS coverage is referenced. A search found blog coverage and how-to pages, but did not reveal any substantial RS coverage.Dialectric (talk) 06:48, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- As for notability, please keep in mind that this software is mainly used by developers, not normal users, so you won't find any mention of it on "popular" sites like lifehacker and such. Of course, that doesn't mean SmartGit isn't notable; it's used by quite a lot of people within the Git and programming community. Tiger3d (talk) 12:08, 23 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. This gets a mention in The O'Reilly book, but that's all it is. If this was mentioned in our article on Git (software) it may have been worth redirecting, but as it is the lack of coverage suggests Delete. --Michig (talk) 07:55, 27 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
