Totally unreferenced. The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing Wikipedia:General notability guideline and the more detailed Wikipedia:Notability (software) requirement. WP:BEFORE gets me a single mention in passing in a Finish article: [1]. That's a far cry from even borderline. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 10:54, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have included 4 references. Software is used in a number of Linux media players. Geertivp (talk) 12:27, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Of the 4 references the Finnish reference may be acceptable for notability, however the remaining 3 look as if they are deriviations of (the same) press release which is of no use for that purpose, as opposed to an independent hands-on review which might be candidates.Djm-leighpark (talk) 09:05, 23 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If you mean [2], while this looks mildly reliable (student thesis?), it seems that the software is mentioned only in one single paragraph, which rather fails the 'in-depth' requirement and instead lends itself to be dismissed as a 'passing mention'. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:44, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies I mis-interpreted what you commented on your opening statement rather than reviewing the reference.Djm-leighpark (talk) 06:53, 25 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Merge: to SoundBridge, Comment: but I do so in the knowledge I am too overloaded to do the merge and am concerned why Geertivp did not seek this option already or why it was not picked up at WP:BEFORE.Djm-leighpark (talk) 08:31, 28 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: For about 168 reasons I am no longer prepared to do this merge myself and therefore need to withdraw my offer. I would !vote to anyone else offering to do so. Withdrawing and unwatching this deletion discussion. Thankyou. 07:50, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
