[edit] Prostockmaster

This is an article for an apparently nn software for Microstock Photography. Speedy deletion was declined as the article's uncited unsourced unferified claim of "thousands of users" was accepted as a "weak stab of notability". The only sources on the article are blogs.

I agree that any number here is questionable and I do not mind editing the article to change that. Regarding the blogs: today I can not tell you who deliver more trusted information - is that blogs or various "official" sites? Many good software applications were started by individuals, supported by bloggers and then become the industry-standard success stories, we all know that. --Wallas88 16:59, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete as has no reliable sources to demonstrate notability. --Gavin Collins 02:00, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. It may be notable and simply needing sources. 80,000 google hits, many mentions on sites like cnet. It's obviously a real working released product and has substantial adoption. However, most sources are download sites as is usually the case. Nothing jumped out at me but if someone would care to dig a little more they can probably get to the bottom of whether it's notable or not. Wikidemo 13:54, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
