• Delete:This software article has no 3rd party references or indication of notability.Dialectric (talk) 13:10, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• As creater of this article, I would like to know if there would be any way to keep the article by providing independent 3rd party sources. What would constitute a reliable 3rd party source? Would an unbiased Softpedia review be sufficient? Some other company, perhaps? I understand the problem here, I just wanted to see if there could be any remedy. 207.6.106.6 (talk) 18:43, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Probably not, see WP:Reliable sources
  • Then how about this: go ahead with the deletion, and over the next few weeks, I'll try to track down some independent reviews, and when I find some, I can recreate the article? Here is a link to some pages that might be relevant: [1] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.6.105.195 (talk) 20:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sites that are based on user-submitted content are often not reliable sources. I didn't see anything that sticks out at me in that search that would particularly qualify. If you recreate the article without reliable sources, it would be deleted quickly. You can ask for the article to be relocated to your userspace where you can work on improving it after it is deleted. You may want to ask for some editors to review your article before moving it back into the main name space. You can attract editor attention by using the {{helpme}} template, or you can ask some people in the Software Wikiproject for help. It will definitely help if you register an account as well. Please keep in mind that the username policy strongly discourages corporate names, so please create a personal account name. Gigs (talk) 22:55, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect back to Power Pad. DBZROCKSIts over 9000!!! 01:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• I understand. Can you give me an example of an independent 3rd party software site? (Maybe a couple of examples?) Thanks. 208.38.55.49 (talk) 04:39, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
