[edit] Chatsum

Chatsum (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

It's a an extension for Firefox which hasn't been developed in 18 months, nor has the website been altered in that time. The software didn't leave beta stage and wasn't notable. The article while developed looks to have been written by the software authors before they dropped the project. Operating 00:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

• Delete No assertion of notability. Possible ad. (Last update on the "Dev blog" was July 6, 2006) OSborn^arf 02:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletions. -- John Vandenberg 09:10, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Good coverage in independent secondary sources exist. These secondary sources seem to be reputable blogs (all blogs aren't the same). I have added three such secondary sources, obtained from google. The subject appears to have faded away soon after launch. This should not count against its entry, as wikipedia is more appropriately about what verifiably was than about current trends. --SmokeyJoe 10:19, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
  • Changed to Delete, as per MarkBul below. Didn't even get out of beta. Article is nearly all reproduction of primary information. Insufficient commentary. No real world impact. Secondary sources are not sufficiently reputable. No prospect of the article being improved. --SmokeyJoe 08:03, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

• Delete The failure of the product to get out of beta does have some relevance to notability. Many products get a little buzz on blogs - few are chosen by users. Not every product is notable - Prince Elbow Macaroni isn't notable - as far as I know - and I've been eating it all my life. I dont' see how a failed product is notable without extraordinary and lasting publicity. MarkBul 20:51, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. I tried it some time ago. It has no users (chatters) and doesn't work properly.Szzuk 10:36, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
