Draft:InstallAware Software[edit]

(Time stamp for bot to properly relist.) — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 17:54, 6 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Declined 11 times -- which is close to a record -- by 9 different reviewers. Hopelessly promotional. DGG ( talk ) 03:42, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Preserve - Not necessarily keeping it in draftspace, but I feel this draft has grown to have some historical significance ([1], [2], [3]) that lead me to want to see it preserved somewhere in projectspace (with a protected redirect). ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 03:46, 21 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To expand, I think there needs to be a short essay at WP:InstallAware Software describing its significance (add to essays listed at NCORP), then the draftspace title redirected and FPP'ed (the essay can link to the latest diff). I volunteer to implement that if the closer wants me to. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 03:06, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Salvidrim. This is a unique case. To avoid other companies from trying to go this route, blank and protect it. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:43, 24 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Comment It feels weird keeping this in draftspace indefinitely, even blanked and protected. Wouldn't it be better to preserve this piece of WP history as part of an essay of some kind? We could incorporate the citations Salvidrim mentioned. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 02:16, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
