Deep Freeze (software)

Non-notable software title. This has been speedy deleted three times already in the past. Dougie WII (talk) 20:08, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom and Salt. X MarX the Spot (talk) 21:24, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Quite bizarrely this seems to be notable software despite those deletions. And google gives plenty of hits. I have no idea why it was deleted, perhaps the software has been updated lately. Suggest appropriate tags and leave on WP. Operating (talk) 21:29, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
(ec) Delete - I don't see any reliable sources, and the article is too close to an advertisement. If any reliable sources are presented, I'll retract my vote. Bart133 ^{t c @ How's my driving?} 21:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - the source below is sufficient to make me retract my delete vote. Bart133 ^{t c @ How's my driving?} 23:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment found at least one review on what I think may be a WP:RS here: MacWorld - but I'm not 100% sure that counts as an RS for these purposes. It does seem to have more than PR releases as ghits, though. MadScot (talk) 23:18, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is software that does seem to be widely deployed, and it's been around for a bit. There are a couple of software reviews out there that need to be integrated. Also, if the article's comments on the limitations of the software can be sourced, then this would read like less of an advert. I'll see if I can play with the article.

Keep the speedy deletions seem inappropriate, give that this article had survived an AfD before this occurred. 2 of the deletions were by the same admin and the third was because the re-creator blanked the page. No rationale has been given for deletion, other than these deletions (which went against consensus). --Karnesky (talk) 02:52, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. There seem to be plenty of Google News stories, but nothing major. VG ☎ 08:50, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've added a couple of article from non-blog media as references to the article. Each article describes Deep Freeze in one paragraph. YMMV. VG ☎ 09:06, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I think it scrapes by as being notable.article does need some cleanup, some wikification, and possibly a re write so it doesnt read so much like an ad. I think those problems could be fixed, and are not grounds for deletion. -Brougham96 (talk) 14:24, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. And clean-up - reliable sources seem to exist the rest are issues to be addressed through regular editing. -- Banjeboi 22:10, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Decent sources available. GlassCobra 22:50, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
