CopyTrans Manager

Contested prod. Article is about a non-notable software product, provided reference mentions product in passing under a previous name. TN‑X-Man 01:26, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: AfD also applies to

(created at the same time with nearly identical content). Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:28, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment if the target article for a redirect is deleted, the redirect can be speedy deleted under WP:CSD#R1, which would be my suggestion for post-AfD followthrough for CopyTrans Manager (software application). --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:21, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect → Comparison of iPod managers and tag with {{R with possibilities}}. I created line items entries within the past hour based on having seen CopyTrans Manager (software application) and originally redirected that article (which had been PROD-nominated) to the 'comparison' list article. I have since re-targeted that redirect to CopyTrans Manager. This product has not yet received sufficient attention in reliable sources to support a stand-alone article; however, there is sufficient material (albeit from the vendor) to satisfy WP:V and therefore to tentatively include in the Comparison list article. Whether or not that bold inclusion remains is irrelevant to the present discussion, as that is an unrelated editorial matter. P.S. I do not own an iPod or anything similar, so I suppose that would put me in a uniquely neutral position :-) --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:41, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Not sure if it would qualify as G11, but this article was written by the company that wrote the software- WindSolutions (talk · contribs) and the company is WindSolutions LLC. I reported the username. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 02:11, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect per above as I will be blocking this user after this edit for aforesaid username. Daniel Case (talk) 02:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, do not redirect. In addition to the nominator's remarks, it should also be mentioned that the article creator makes contradicting statements: On the one hand "WindSolutions LLC. started programming CopyTrans Manager in C++ in 2007", on the other hand it is claimed that the 2005 reference from allthingsd.com is about "CopyTrans Manager ... under its previous name CopyPod". Regarding the list article, I do not think that it should include a product just because the vendor has put up a web page about it. Regards, HaeB (talk) 17:22, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Existence alone was not the driving force for including it in the listing. The apparent absence of comparable products that work on both iPod and iPhone platforms makes the product noteworthy in the context of related products, though by no means establishes the products notability in general. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 19:18, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
