  • STRONG KEEP This program is mentioned often in the XBMC forums, and there are articles about it at [http://www.howtogeek.com/72267/how-to-turn-your-computer-into-a-supercharged-tivo-with-sick-beard/ howtogeek] and [http://lifehacker.com/sick-beard/ lifehacker]. I would not call this "dubious notability." 207.171.191.60 (talk) 20:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

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

  • Delete: Forums are not reliable sources and so is howtogeek. SL93 (talk) 01:43, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
  • Keep: I came here looking for more info on Sickbeard and programs like it. I use it and thought the article would be more verbose. I know not a perfect reason for keeping it... -Andrew (talk) 23:57, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Why?: This article is too short to be of any use but to act as a pointer to its references. A simple web search would probably yield more useful data. While a short, succinct paragraph can be a wealth of information, this does not provide that. It would be better as part of an article on the class or type of software, like Newsreader_(Usenet) (under "Types of Clients") or in List_of_Usenet_newsreaders as a paragraph not a link (most of the linked articles there are too short for their own page also), than as an article of its own - then the paragraph on it could be included as part of a listing of such programs. Yes, I know that is a run on sentence, I'm too lazy to break it up. RavanAsteris (talk) 21:13, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
