Fails to demonstrate notability through the inclusion of multiple non-trivial references by independent reliable sources. Has received the odd reference from Web media, mostly Swedish, but that's all; the project is only a few months old. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:51, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I'd say it passes the notability test, but it lacks reliable sources at present. However, it seems to be fairly new, and I'd say within a couple months time, there will be more to go off of. Matt (talk) 00:12, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It may well be notable, but reliable sources are still crucial. Without them, an article cannot be maintained. (As for the might be notable in the future argument, that is a violation of WP:CRYSTAL. We don't deal in speculation unless it's done by noted experts and even then not all the time. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:35, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge Completely un-notable aside from a way Linux users can run Spotify. Just because someone has hacked the source code of a program does not mean we should have an article on that hack. Unless it becomes something huge, or the Spotify article becomes too big, it makes sense to keep it within the Spotify article where it started. Jellypuzzle | ^Talk 08:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thay did not hack the sorce the despotify team revers engineered the protocol that spotify uses
and made their own program that uses the spotify protocol —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.100.152.146 (talk) 17:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Spotify or Delete - redundant, unsourced information - in order to understand this article, you need to first read the spotify article -TinGrin 02:22, 15 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge or Keep, IF Spotify is notable, then my vote is "merge" or "keep" SF007 (talk) 22:03, 17 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
