This is an article about a very new software program. While it gets a fair number of google hits of various shareware directories, there are absolutely no independent sources about the software, so it fails the general notability guideline. MrOllie (talk) 17:17, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is an independent reference in the article. The Softpedia review can be accessed from the External Links heading — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timhirrel (talk • contribs) 18:13, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No. Softpedia is a directory site that takes submissions from software vendors for content. - MrOllie (talk) 18:36, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no significant coverage in 3rd party reliable sources to establish notability. Dialectric (talk) 15:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. No sources, and nothing usable for establishing notability in a Google search. Richwales (talk · contribs) 03:56, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete per lack of any notable sources on Google and Yahoo aside from this company's website. SwisterTwister talk 19:50, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain why the byline on the V1 Magazine post says 'Written by TdhGIS'? - MrOllie (talk) 19:00, 12 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I submitted the program for editorial review. They chose what to print and where. It appears they chose to print text taken from the TdhGIS website. The use of such material in journalism is common place and generally accepted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.121.30.60 (talk) 17:47, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
