Taking to AfD because the present PROD tags are invalid due to a dePROD in 2014.

Original nom this time around was Robincantin, with the rationale: "Article about a piece of software that's been "in development" for the last 13 years."

Endorsed by Phil Bridger with the rationale: "Clearly a piece of software that went nowhere, and only attracted a couple of "gee-whiz" news items when it was announced. If I was designing a filter for stupidity it would filter out anything written in in camelCase and undated "status" pages that only tell us what the status was in the dim and distant past."

In my opinion the subject fails WP:N, which requires significant attention by the world at large and over a period of time (my bold), ie, not simply a couple of "wow won't this be cool" articles around the time of the announcement. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:23, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This software would have been notable had it been developed. Alas, such an occurrence has not come to pass.TH1980 (talk) 03:59, 30 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - caused some coverage at the time, but that was just a blip. No sustained coverage over time. -- Whpq (talk) 18:39, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
