X-Chat Aqua[edit]

Non-notable open source project. Web search gives about 12,000 hits [1] and I haven't found a single one that offers third-party media coverage. Not an innovative or trend-setting product. Mikeblas 16:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Just as an indicator of notability, Colloquy has a score of 595 on iUseThis, whereas X-Chat Aqua has a score of 106. Nevertheless, we only really have WP:SOFTWARE to work off of, despite it being only proposed at the moment, and it doesn't meet any of the subpoints listed there. Then again, most open source software won't even if it's a moderately popular app for an OS. For now, let's just merge it into X-Chat and split it off later if it deserves its own article (which it really doesn't at the moment). --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 18:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It doesnt meet the criteria of WP:SOFTWARE, in that Software is notable if it has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself 2/3 ext. links are to Sourceforge.net pages its developer, the third link is a download site that carries free software. As X-Chat Aqua is an IRC client for Mac OS X. I would have expected a specialist Mac publication to have reviewed the software. Alternative maybe a merge to Mac OS X which currently doesnt even link to this article. Gnangarra 01:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I don't think merging into Mac OS X would be the correct move. X-Chat would be the most understandable target as this app is pretty much a branch of it. --Brad Beattie ^(talk) 15:12, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I agree with Brad Beattie that whatever is done, should not merge with Mac OS X. 69.140.173.15 17:53, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
