This seems to be a non-notable piece of software. The article is sourced to blogs, and Google turns up many more; plus I found one review on a download site [http://www.download.com/The-Web-2-0-Toolbar/3000-12777_4-10600523.html?tag=lst-1]; but I don't think that suffices to warrant an article. Note that the article was created by User:Bostondave, while the software's creator is called David and apparently located near Boston [http://www.web20toolbar.com/index.php/about/]. PROD was contested. B. Wolterding (talk) 21:21, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

  • comment I had deprodded it, and invite comments from the more knowledgable. DGG (talk) 23:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment I found a couple of brief rs mentions [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn&q=%22Web+2.0+Toolbar%22 here] and while I know that likely isn't enough to establish notability, I think there are more. I think the reason for the significant blog coverage is that this is a tool written for blog use, I agree that there needs to be other coverage, however. One of the issues I'm coming up with in trying to find more is that there is a lot of discussion of the concept of Web 2.0 toolbars and their use, which makes it harder to find discussion of this particular tool with that name.

  • Delete - fails notability under WP:COMP. Software is rarely notable, unless (extremely) widely in mainstream use.--HidariMigi (talk) 20:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

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

  • Delete - Completely lacking in notability; productspam. / Blaxthos ( t / c ) 20:34, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
