Not notable. Doesn't meet WP:GNG. Absolutely no coverage from reliable sources. — Newslinger talk 19:57, 30 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ Neutral - First clue is the likes at alternativeTo : 66, which is more than any other, and much more than most.
I also found:
: https://www.hostingadvice.com/blog/best-virtual-machine-management-panels/
: https://www.tecmint.com/opensource-commercial-control-panels-manage-virtual-machines/
I don't think the problem is notability, but more interest-ability.
: Hypervisors is not known & understood by many, and as far as Wikipedia goes - well, look at the sorry state of the article for WMware's vSphere.

Struck content above per WP:SOCKSTRIKE. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:20, 10 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

None of these are reliable sources. AlternativeTo is user-generated content, the first blog is in Wikipedia's spam blacklist, and the second blog offers a listicle with no significant coverage of the article subject. — Newslinger talk 22:55, 3 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting to use any of those as a source for article content, I'm merely entertaining the idea that some notability to WMmanager exist. -- DexterPointy (talk) 07:02, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, those sources wouldn't prove the product's notability, since WP:GNG requires significant coverage from reliable sources. The non-blacklisted sites could be used to support the article content (when better sources aren't available), but they won't do much in this AfD discussion because they're not reliable sources. — Newslinger talk 08:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. Got a bunch of scholar hits, but they're not talking about this particular piece of software (rather they're just using camel case to refer to a generic class, but that's beside the point). The search results are further confused by the existence of an "Oracle VMManager". One passing mention in "searchservervirtualization.techtarget.com" and no other sources lead me to conclude the software isn't notable. Enterprisey (talk!) 05:48, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No apparent coverage in sources other than the usual man pages and marketing. — Alpha3031 (t • c) 03:39, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
