User:PseudoSudo/Wikipedia:Deletion review/pork (instant messenger)

pork (instant messenger)

I am looking to undelete this article; it was previously deleted under pork (software). Looks like a relist.

Background:

pork (software) was voted for deletion on January 11 for lack of notability. I wrote pork (instant messenger) on February 5 without knowledge of pork (software)'s existence. User:Perfecto placed {{notability}} on the article; a discussion commenced on the talk page and, after expansion, I removed the template. User:Cryptic deleted pork (instant messenger) on February 18 as per WP:CSD#G4.

Bottom line:

pork (software) was deleted for lack of notability. I contest pork's lack of notability, as evidenced by the points made on Talk:pork (instant messenger).

Handy links:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pork (software)
• Talk:pork (instant messenger)
• User:PseudoSudo/pork (instant messenger)
• User:PseudoSudo/pork (software)
• a (random) diff of the two

• Support closure but suggest relist ComputerJoe 22:16, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
• Endorse deletion, don't bother relisting. With under 300 unique Googles it doesn't stand much chance at AfD. No obvious new evidence of significance since the entirely valid AfD discussed essentially the same subject. Just zis Guy you know? 13:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, could you cite the 300 figure? ~ PseudoSudo 14:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

• Looking to incite discussion: well, firstly, pork+ncurses is way too specific a query to include even a majority of the pages on Google that reference pork (ncurses was just the first workable identifier that came to mind). Secondly, pork does meet Wikipedia:Notability (software); it's a Debian package, under stable. Packages with lower popularity-contest ratings than pork (and decent Wikipedia stubs) include Fityk, sqsh, mpatrol. Thirdly, pork deserves a Wikipedia article considering solely its nature, regardless; pork is one of extremely few mature console AIM clients available, and visitors to Wikipedia reading about AIM clients do deserve to come across them (no other uses OSCAR, by the way). ~ PseudoSudo 07:40, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
