Delete. Just another non-notable clone of a popular chat client. JBsupreme (talk) 23:08, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep, one of the most widely used cross-platform alternative programs to Windows Live Messenger. it is included in the default Ubuntu repositories and even installed by default on systems like Super OS --SF007 (talk) 23:43, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 23:49, 21 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep. Here is some coverage: http://sun.systemnews.com/articles/118/2/OpenSolaris/19046 and http://www.techspot.com/news/19901-amsn-095-released-after-more-than-a-year.html When search for the coverage of the chat client, you need to exclude coverage of anything with the acronym AMSN (such as the Academy of Medical-Surgical Nurses) and of the stock symbol AMSN. – Eastmain (talk) 00:42, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep : It is very used — Neustradamus (✉) 02:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete There are no sources in the article showing notability. The sources shown from Eastmain are extremely trivial and routine version release announcements. SF007 says it is in the Ubuntu Repositories. I sincerely hope that is not a notability criteria, or every free applet in the iPhone store will need a Wikipedia article. Neustradamus says it is very used. This has never been our criteria. Miami33139 (talk) 06:25, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete: Can't find any significant coverage. Article shows no outside sources of notability, and I agree with above, sources given in this discussion are trivial. LoudHowie (talk) 15:34, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep - with so many interwikis, this is clearly one of the most popular MSN clones. I added a couple of sources as well. Óðinn ☭☆ talk 20:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Interwikis are long rejected as any reason to keep an article. Miami33139 (talk) 21:29, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
