Non-notable software - no sources to support notability. In fact no claim of notability is made. ukexpat (talk) 20:03, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- ukexpat (talk) 20:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep [http://books.google.com/books?q=TeXnicCenter coverage in at least thirteen books] and part of ProTeXt. It also has exclusive coverage in TUGboat and The PracTeX Journal. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FWinShell&diff=294018305&oldid=293998739 Nominator has made other AfDs on this subject]. --Karnesky (talk) 20:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

:*Comment: Then cite those books in the article. And I am not being pointy here -- software, even free sofware, doesn't get a free pass on notability. This article has been around since 2005 without a single reference to support notability. – ukexpat (talk) 20:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::*So tag it as being unreferenced. Don't nominate something for deletion because someone disagreed with you in another AfD. How do these nominations improve wikipedia? --Karnesky (talk) 20:46, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

:::*Comment: I have no axe to grind here and I am not reacting to "disagreement". I have much thicker skin than that. – ukexpat (talk) 20:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

::* References have been added. --Karnesky (talk) 21:35, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

:Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fritzpoll (talk) 13:28, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

  • Keep I was wondering what ukexpat has against software projects being listed in wikipedia and then I saw that he is a lawyer. Anyway enough flaming. There are many less notable entries in wikipedia and this one has references and provides a useful resource to a community so I vote for keeping it. ardalby
