I can't see how this piece of software meets WP:GNG. Most search results are download or aggregator websites. sst✈ 17:07, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Comment Just found [http://lifehacker.com/258730/replace-windows-explorer-with-xplorer2 something] from Lifehacker. I'm going to keep looking. Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 19:45, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Good find, but a single Lifehacker review is not enough for establishing notability. sst✈ 05:00, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Second Lifehacker review: [http://lifehacker.com/5824811/the-best-alternative-file-browser-for-windows], [http://betanews.com/2011/07/25/need-better-windows-file-management-try-xplorer2-2-0/ and one from] BetaNews, which I am taking to RSN. Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 22:12, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • RSN came up empty. We source it in a few articles, but maybe it's not good enough. Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 18:59, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Delete - Some links at News and browsers but perhaps nothing for a better article. Draft and userfy if needed, SwisterTwister talk 06:49, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Comment xplorer2 is a popular windows file manager actively developed since 2004. It is easy in the top 5 windows file managers checking Alexa rank or whatever else you might want to consider. If you remove its article you must remove 95% of software articles on Wikipedia. umeca74 (t/c) 12:52, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

:{{ping|umeka74}} Are there any big, popular sites that post about it? I mean in terms of most of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Technology_websites this]. Anything this big will probably do. Discuss-Dubious (t/c) 01:51, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Keep All this discussion started because someone who hasn't heard of xplorer2 before and cannot do a google search for "xplorer2 review" to answer its own question, and considers lifehacker to be inferior, wants the Wikipedia article removed. I believe there were enough countering voices and croud democracy should now win :) umeca74 (t/c) 05:00, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
  • Keep. This my favorite file explorer. It is powerful, important and certainly notable. OlavN (talk) 08:28, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
