Non-notable, per WP:N. Visor (talk) 23:54, 25 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Can you be more specific on why this isn't notable? It gets a lot of Google hits, suggesting that there are probably some reliable sources out there. --L. Pistachio (talk) 01:10, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's just one of many GUI update which transforms one OS look to the another one. Just a collection of styles and GUI elements bundled in one pack. Do we really need article about every OS transformation pack? If so, we need to create lots of articles... All Vista transformation packs, as well as its icons, wallpapers, etc. became popular over the Internet during 06/07 when Longhorn/Vista was introduced. Check Ghits for "Vista icons" and you'll get about 315,000 Google hits. That's why argue about Ghits is no guarantee that the subject is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia (WP:GHITS). For this moment, notability guidelines for software is defunct, so I included link to WP:N, where general notability guidelines are. Visor (talk) 12:28, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I believe this article is more like a readme file and therefore needs to reach wikipedia standard. I cannot decide on its notibility per WP:N. However, I believe that the phenomenon of users attempting to upgrade the look and feel of their Windows XP to Windows Vista, rather than actually buying Windows Vista, is notable. This articles author might consider writing a stub on this matter, thus introducing this program in it. At this time, I do not disapprove deletion.Fleet Command (talk) 08:20, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - non-notable. "the phenomenon of users attempting to upgrade the look and feel of their Windows XP to Windows Vista, rather than actually buying Windows Vista" belongs in the article on Vista. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:15, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - this is really known software. Kubek15 - Talk, Userboxes, Contributions 17:10, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Firstly, read WP:IKNOWIT. Secondly, as I mentioned above, Vista icons are also well-known and popular. So are they deserve a separate WP article? Visor (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
