The result was redirect‎ to Eudora (email client)#Hiatus and source code release (2006–2018) as a viable ATD as it's mentioned there. Star Mississippi 16:03, 27 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be an open source version of Eudora, article is virtually entirely original research. Any notability seems tied to Eudora or Thunderbird. IgelRM (talk) 14:39, 6 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

keep. Contains a bunch of information and references. A couple of articles link to this one (Special:WhatLinksHere/Eudora OSE). 2A02:3036:206:65CA:8888:9AD2:A4A0:79C6 (talk) 22:39, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is not a valid Keep rationale. We do not keep articles because it "contains a bunch of information": all articles do. We keep them on the basis of significant coverage. HyperAccelerated (talk) 22:42, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, though mainly for historical interest. However, I have a weak spot for Eudora, which was head and shoulders better than Mail, Thunderbird, Gmail etc. I only gave up on Eudora (in around 2012 — long after it stopped being maintained) because our computer service more or less insisted.

  Could you figure out what could be salvaged from this article and merge into Eudora? IgelRM (talk) 10:41, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That is not a valid Keep rationale. We do not keep articles because you think they're interesting: we keep them on the basis of significant coverage. HyperAccelerated (talk) 22:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Neither of the Keep !votes carry much weight in terms of P&G. Please focus on the key issue of notability per our guidelines.

• Redirect to Eudora (email client)#Hiatus and source code release (2006–2018): it is mentioned there, making it a valid-enough alternative to deletion. Given the existing sourcing (all of which seem tied to Qualcomm or Mozilla, which is not what we're looking for in 2024), I'm not sure if anything "exclusive" to the current separate article makes that much sense to merge, but that doesn't preclude a redirect. That this is a separate article at all is more an artifact of the lower inclusion standards of 2006 than anything else. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 18:23, 20 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
