Non-notable product of minority interest that does not meet Wikipedia notability guidelines. Article has had the "Unsourced" template present on it since 2012 - can potentially be merged into IRIX. Foonblace (talk) 20:21, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A search for '4Dwm irix' on Google Books turns up many results. I imagine a Google Scholar query would turn up many more. I think it very unlikely this topic falls short of our notability threshold and it doesn't look like the nom has put any effort into finding alternative sources. If the nom doesn't rework the delete rationale, I am inclined to !vote for a speedy keep. — Charles Stewart (talk) 13:24, 7 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural speedy keep - Poorly constructed nom that did not do the bare minimum in terms of looking for coverage outside WP. Many ghits for 'irix 4dwm' on Google Books (see my comment, above) and Google Scholar [1]: it is the nom's job to look through these before putting together an AfD. AfD is too overloaded for us to waste our time with this. — Charles Stewart (talk) 07:24, 8 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep My google book search also returns several hits, nom failed to do a basic WP:BEFORE check. Jeepday (talk) 11:26, 10 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There appear to be multiple mentions of this peice of software in 1980-1990's textbooks and manuals relating to/dealing with UNIX systems. Sohom Datta (talk) 12:38, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Procedural speedy keep as per above. Search is your friend. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:11, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
