  • Keep, because it's an old article and I just updated it and I don't know why the user have now a problem with an updated content. I'm not an advertiser! Tobias B. Besemer (talk) 15:33, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Roll back to an older, less-detailed version. This version from 03:44, 13 April 2011‎ is the last version before some copyrighted material was added. This version from 22:02, 31 December 2012 is the next visible version. It shows the list of engines used. I prefer the 2011 version over both the 2012 version and the current version. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 21:48, 8 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep—I'm seeing reviews in Softpedia[1][2] and PC Advisor.[3] There's also new coverage on the company itself that can be used to flesh out the article from PC World[4] and Betanews.[5] Given the software's presence in the PC World 100 Best Products of 2007 (link updated in article) and the citations already in the article, I think there's enough here to argue successfully for notability. I haven't looked into the copyright issue, but that's not a problem to be solved at AfD. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 05:59, 9 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
