[edit] H-Dub Beeper

  ATTENTION!

If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a majority vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether a page or group of pages is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting votes.

H-Dub Beeper (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is an extremely non-notable software considering that a Google search returns no other results (other than Wikipedia and mirrors) that mention it together with its creator. [1] Its proposed deletion was contested with the reason "This piece of software is not open source, so there are no internet sites where a person can download it. Sales of this product are currently only available in Australia, not from internet sites." which really does not address the key point - that there are no independent write-ups of this software from reliable sources. Whether the software can be downloaded online was, and is, irrelevant. Resurgent insurgent 14:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - non-notable as the nominator suggests. --Diletante 17:58, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete at the least non-notable and a strong whiff of a hoax. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - software seems to be quite notable. 60.225.47.127 00:56, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
    • I suspect that you are the author of the page based on this edit [2]. Diletante 01:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are no sources cited and a search of Google News and Google News Archive does not show any.
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 02:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, obviously nn software. Lankiveil 03:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete as above.--cj | talk 03:44, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as per nom.--Mattinbgn/ talk 03:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete why would anyone pay for VB scripts to make their computer beep? About as non-notable as software gets, I'm sorry. --Canley 07:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I have purchased this product via independent sale and have profitted from the many hours of enjoyment since. I like especially the H-Dub Pwnage Beep - the songs are terrific and almost perfect replicas of the originals. Perhaps those who do not have the required sense of humour for such products should leave these beepers to those who enjoy them.

  • Keep - like pytho, i got this ages ago and use it all the time. its real good fun for when u have some time, especially the keyboard one - its perfect if u dont have a computer keyboard HeadShott 9:07, 26 March 2007 (UTC)) added by Pytho7 who has already !voted, above.

  • Keep - Clever idea for a program, it probably got full marks in a school prject or something - see if you can get it open source so no one can complain.--Riana 13:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)) added by Pytho7 who has already !voted, above. Resurgent insurgent 07:15, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I got this ages ago and i love it--Stewie 5:34, 26 March 2007 (UTC)— Stewie (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. , probably the same person as Pytho7, see [3] Resurgent insurgent 08:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I have purchased this product, just like Pytho7, from an independent seller. Its ingenuity never ceases to amaze me. Its cheap price and sheer fun create a novel program. Deletion would be a miscarriage of wikipedian justice.--Tokyoakira 17:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)— Tokyoakira (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. , vandalously removed delete !votes, see [4] Resurgent insurgent 08:48, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - idiotic idea for a program. Do not even have to look to know that this is completely non-notable - Peripitus (Talk) 10:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
