The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General Notability Guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. Marslo2015 (talk) 22:14, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I found lots of reviews: [1] from Chip, [2] and [3] from PC World, [4] from Tom's Hardware, [5] from Softpedia, [6] from The Economic Times. Some of these are a little brief, but there are more hits that I didn't include. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 09:27, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep. Nominating an article about an internationally well-known and wide-spread product such as Total Commander (aka Windows Commander), which is obviously notable by Wikipedia's standards (for a start, articles in 24 other WPs might give a hint) and which is regularly mentioned (and recommended) in computer magazines, for deletion is such a extreme waste of the precious time and energy of contributing editors, that it must be counted as destructive behaviour and vandalism and should be acted accordingly. We really should block single-purpose accounts who either don't do their homework before nominating articles for deletion or even deliberately want to get rid of a few articles out of low motives. We all make mistakes now and then, and we should be (and usually are) forgiving when someone make mistakes, but new accounts who have nothing better to do than nominating a series of long established articles about notable topics for deletion obviously aren't here to contribute anything useful to the project, they only waste resources and cause harm, so we should get rid of them without much ado. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 12:12, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. A quick search reveals this to be a notable program. CarnivorousBunnytalk 19:30, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
