Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ASPack

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was DELETE. There's barely a quorum, but including [[User:83.30.22.177] (but not Kinu) we have 4 Delete comment and 1 Keep comment. The point made by Ace of Risk is well taken, but even being used in several products does not, to me, seem to convey enough notability to overcome the arguments of the other commentors.

[edit] ASPack

Nominated for deletion by User:83.30.22.177 (who as an IP user could not create the AfD subpage) with the edit summary this is an ad. Creating the subpage and listing it here as a good faith procedural action; no recommendation from me (yet?). --Kinu t/c 04:47, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete It does read like an ad. A google search lists quite a few results but from a lot of sources like a spanish packaging association. The link to the wikipedia article is one of the first articles that is returned by the google search. --Mecanismo | Talk 10:43, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Moreover, it seems that the vast majority of google hits which are related are taken from sources which have heavy user participation. Wikipedia, del.icio.us, shareware download sites, etc... --Mecanismo | Talk 10:45, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep - Small but accurate, ASPack tends to be used in several products, more for its obfuscation of possible decompiling, than its capability as an EXE packer first page Ghit - identifying as a "pest" of the packer/hider type. Ace of Risk 14:24, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Mecanismo. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. --shadow box 23:26, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as insufficiently notable, see WP:SOFTWARE, and lack of reliable, reputable sources per WP:V. --Satori Son 03:56, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
