Reliable sources are needed to establish the wp:Notability of the subject, but there are none. Vanjagenije (talk) 02:29, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Fails GNG. Not even sure it asserts notability. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 04:50, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This product has been in the market for almost two years and is being used by chess players to notate games during tournaments. A competing product has an entry in wikipedia (Monroi).

- @Woodknight: It may be important and useful, but notability is a pretty specific thing on Wikipedia that boils down to whether or not a subject has received in depth coverage by reliable secondary sources. That it is used, implemented, allowed, etc. again may make it important but not notable. Articles in newspapers, magazines, academic journals, and reliable websites (the details of what is considered "reliable" are here), but not letters, sources produced by the product's creator, sources produced by anyone in a business relationship with the creator (e.g. to use the software in another product), self-published sources like most blogs, and so on. If none of these exist it may still be WP:TOOSOON. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 15:05, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Doesn't have the coverage needed for WP:GNG. The sources are not independent, not reliable (blogs), or don't show significant coverage.Jakejr (talk) 19:01, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
