Non-notable software. I was going to prod the article, but it was already deleted that way previously and by speedy deletion after that. SL93 (talk) 19:03, 22 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, the PROD and speedy where in 2006 and 2007 respectively, so cannot really be relevant in 2021. Looking at this, while I have never heard about it myself, there are some reviews from various sources over a period spanning from around 2014, such as Softpedia, PC World and Techradar as a recommended or suggested solution. I can't say if this qualifies the notability guidelines or not, though they're independent, third-party reviews over a period of time.

The softpedia article includes download links and a license key deal for Backup4all Lite, so I would not consider it independent. The techradar link is a brief, incidental mention at the end of the article, not a thorough review.Dialectric (talk) 15:17, 2 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not suggesting this satisfies any notability criteria, hence a comment and not a !vote. I happen to think on balance the article may not have sufficient in-depth secondary sources, but it doesn't harm to discuss what is found, relevant or not. What I posted is by no means exhaustive.

Comment - I've found references from Tech Radar, ghacks, and many other tech magazines about this software through Google search. It seems like a good backup software. Mommmyy (talk) 20:15, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mommmyy: The techradar link is the exact same one I posted above and the other link has nothing to do with backup4all. Are you sure you meant that one? I remain on the fence regarding notability though. A number of reasonable length, independent reviews would be useful. Bungle ^{(talk • contribs)} 20:22, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Bungle:, I mistaken Ghack as a tech magazine and found it is a blog. Sorry for that. But what about PCWorld? It seems to be a good reference. I can see that you've recommended this one too. I don't know if Capterra is trustworthy or not. I would like to leave it up to your' consideration. Mommmyy (talk) 22:38, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to add one more thing. I found another source from Tech Radar. Please check. Mommmyy (talk) 22:46, 4 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Of all the sources posted, only the PC World one seems to be a completely independent reliable source with significant coverage, which is not enough to meet WP:GNG. Further attempts at finding quality sources came up empty. Qwaiiplayer (talk) 13:31, 14 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep There are two independent sources that talk about this software in some detail. It just squeaks by the notability requirements. 80.247.89.52 (talk) 17:13, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Backup software is very very common software and it would need to quite special to get an article. I don't see why it is notable. scope_creep^Talk 20:58, 18 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
