Lack of reliable third-party sources to establish the notability of the subject. huji—TALK 22:46, 23 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Perhaps this should be moved to and reworked as Simple Machines (software company), if WP:NOTE applies. --Trevj (talk) 13:20, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 14:45, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep for same reason as in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/VBulletin. Also, per the previous AfD, the subject had quite a few book sources, and as notability is not temporary, the subject still meets notability. --Tathar (talk) 19:03, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep - The coverage in Linux Journal listed under further reading is from a reliable 3rd party source, and along with the other sources discussed above appears to be sufficient to establish notability. Dialectric (talk) 15:24, 4 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
