PROD'ed and tagged twice for questionable notability, IP repeatedly removed [1], [2] with edit summary "(Cleanup)". No (significant) coverage in independent, reliable sources. Wikipedia:Notability (software) is an essay, not a guideline or policy, but offers no rationale that would support notability and neither does WP:PRODUCT. Vexations (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2021 (UTC) Clarification: A WP:BEFORE search did not yield any additional potentially usable sources currently not used in the article.

On what grounds is this page being considered for deletion? And please explain further what you mean by "questionable not ability" Chouette254 (talk) 15:56, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

May I suggest reading the Wikipedia Software Notability linked above? The proposed deletion is on the grounds that the software does not fulfill the criteria outlined in that document. PianoDan (talk) 17:54, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You are assuming that I'm not well versed with WP guidelines. Before nominating an unsourced article for deletion, be sure to verify that it is non-notable, not just missing citations. One way to do this is to perform a Google books, Google news, or Google scholar search for the app in question if relevant. Simply stating "non notable" and "unreferenced" is not a valid rationale for deletion. Also keep in mind that the number of Google hits itself do not impart notability, it is the quality of each source (or breadth of a search) that influences such numbers.

Which source, either cited or not, are you suggesting establishes notability? PianoDan (talk) 18:51, 7 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
