I see nothing indicate that this discontinued product has ever been notable. The only reference are press release. Miami33139 (talk) 06:26, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This is not a topic that's worth keeping for the next generation; this not even a topic worth keeping for the next year. A dead-on-arrival substandard firewall product is hardly worthy of notice. Fleet Command (talk) 19:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The only Freeware Windows port of PF with stateful filtration? And not just firewall, but HIPS? Having file and registry protection, that only lately started to make it into freeware firewalls? Having multiple reviews and forum discussions? I'm convinced, that we should keep the article until freeware HIPS and PF ports become common occurrence, or at least till Core Force becomes incompatible with all widely-used OSes.

Objection. I'm afraid ETST but none of these that you've mentioned are valid criteria of inclusion of an article in Wikipedia. The criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia is those mentioned in Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. These requirements must be reinforced with Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Neutral point of view. Especially for your attention is the fact that Notability is not temporary: If the article is notable, we keep it regardless of whether its subject is still being actively developed or is now considered ancient history. Unfortunately, ETST, the subject of this article does not qualify as eligible for keeping neither per what you said nor per what it is. Fleet Command (talk) 07:27, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
