Talk:Mailwasher

Orphan tag

I have removed the orphan tag. Added link to Anti-spam techniques (e-mail) so there are now 2 links to relevant articles which is similar to most of the other articles on spam filters. It is certainly not an orphan. Dsergeant 07:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Proposed delete

I have removed the delete tag added by user:Wasp-edia. The WP article has not been edited for some time, and is somewhat devoid of detail, but Mailwasher is still a very active software as a visit to their forums will show. Speedy deletes like this are inappropriate, especially with rather vaguely written reasons ('No relevance nor any outstanding or comparative content/point, poorly sourced and the external links make the impression to be for promotional reasons only (3 times mainly the same: free version, pro version, forum) covered up by different domains.'). Moreover, user:Wasp-edia has only done 3 edits ever on WP. Any deletion proposal should be via the normal consultation method. Dsergeant (talk) 06:06, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

The user was entirely within their rights to mark this article for proposed deletion. Proposed deletion is not speedy deletion.

I have no opinion about the deletion, but as it stands, the article doesn't satisfy the general notability guideline. There is just 1 independent source that isn't even online anymore (when I click on the link, I just see the headline with no article content). If you want to prevent deletion, you should work on establishing notability, that is, adding references to independent reliable sources covering Mailwasher. -- intgr [talk] 14:44, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
