Delete The "Pokeware" platform is barely notable enough to have a page. The entire product has just 226 Facebook likes and 239 Twitter followers. Since there is nothing new or innovative about this product at all, strongly recommend deletion. @SmithAndTeam (talk) 06:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm not able to judge the notability of Pokeware but would suggest that the external links are not necessary and do make the page seem promotional Fireflo (talk) 09:42, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The big thing about this is that it's about a function within an existing software and this is akin to having an article on the action of pushing the "like" button on Facebook. The big difference here is that while Facebook's like button is notable, this specific feature of this product lacks notability outside of the software. Whether or not the software is ultimately notable isn't really the focus of this AfD. What is up for notability concern is whether one specific and minute detail about the product is notable outside of the notability of the product and that answer is no. There's nothing out there to show that clicking your mouse over a video product and "poking" the product is notable outside of the general notability of the product software. I don't even really think that this merits a redirect, as this is such a general term that I don't really see it being a viable redirect. Any pertinent data should be merged into the pre-existing article for pokeware, though.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:48, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete. I agree with my friend, Tokyogirl79. I was originally going to say that this was a "weak keep," but noticed what Tokyogirl said; this article is about one specific and un-notable aspect of a, again, barely notable software program. So, ultimately this just doesn't seem to fit into Wikipedia's guidelines, but could possibly be merged into Pokeware's article, if there is one currently.

Not to mention that the article for pokeware is so small as it is that merging would probably help flesh out the article overall.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 03:26, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to be basically promotional, and as we have no reliable sources as to this software function's notability, it is very probably completely un-notable.--Gilderien Chat|List of good deeds 20:16, 23 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
