Two reasons for this one. First, there don't seem to be a set of independent sources with significant coverage of this item, so it fails WP:N. Second, the purpose of the tool is to facilitate copyright violation by searching LyricWiki.org, a site devoted to lyric copyright violation. If notability was conclusively strong, I'd say the nature of the work was unimportant. Since the notability is weak, at best, it makes me want to deny this software any benefit of the doubt. —Kww(talk) 15:10, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I don't think the copyvio nature of the tool matters, since we have articles on quite a few bits of software that are illegal in some countries but still notable. However, this one would seem to fail WP:N. Firestorm (talk) 15:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The legality is irrelevant. The nom. admits that notability is there, though he thinks it weak. Requiring "conclusively strong notability" for things that one thinks illegal is a violation of NPOV. DGG (talk) 06:26, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete A greek blog and a company site do not establish notability. This software does not meet (WP:N). Dialectric (talk) 14:10, 20 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There are many of these wholly nonnotable software articles on Wikipedia and its about time they get cut if they can't hold their own against WP:N. I can't find any sources to describe this particular program in any detail and I have no idea what separates it from other pieces of software, ie: what makes it notable.
