Ulteo

Software that is not notable and has no reliable sources other then it’s home page, a rant page about someone who got fired from their job and another site that you need a password to get into. Pmedema (talk) 12:56, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete ! Ulteo is a great and alive project! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.230.24.115 (talk) 12:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't delete and leave it from Articles for Deletion. The Ulteo project has recently released several software products or services. It's alive! I have updated the page completely and added references —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.122.59.118 (talk) 09:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per my nomination --Pmedema (talk) 12:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The personal trials and tribulations have no relevance with regard to the software. No reliable, verifiable independent sources. DarkAudit (talk) 15:03, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If there's anything interesting about Ulteo, 2 years of stub should have been enough to get an article with more than 1 or 2 good sentences. Although there must have been a little bit of hype, this is too much vaporware to keep indefinitely. Is neither popular nor innovative.--Chealer (talk) 18:22, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I really thought Middix or Iteva would get this treatment before Ulteo... If there is an argument for keeping this article, I think it would be a "notability-inherited" argument from the famous guy. Or maybe the linux.com article. But that might not be (and probably is not) enough. -- Swerdnaneb 21:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Don't Delete
Sorry for my english: I don't want to offend anybody.

I say: just put the word Ulteo on google and you'll find over 250.000 pages of results! Only uncorrect people can say there are "No reliable, verifiable independent sources."

I think there's no need to go futher.

Before to say that "Is neither popular nor innovative" is better read about the Application System (http://www.ulteo.com/home/applicationsystem) or the Online Desktop (http://www.ulteo.com/home/onlinedesktop).

You want to know what to do with the Online Desktop? you may consider to read (http://blog.ulteo.com/)

One thing is right: the page is not well done and MUST be edited. But I'm not so sure it must be deleted... -- Panta 21:30, 3 April 2008 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.51.20.72 (talk • contribs) — 82.51.20.72 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep I'll admit I haven't read the article in qustion, but I do strongly agree that Ulteo is notable and popular within it's own right and worthy of an article that presents it as such. 99.229.222.154 (talk) 18:06, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep! you wouldn't delete this article after the first beta version is available, would you? --Amine Brikci N (talk) 09:11, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I would. Existence itself is not notability. I don't think anyone has said, "There's no beta version. Delete." -- Swerdnaneb 18:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
