NVnetbackup
Advertisement for software on Sourceforge. Delete. RasputinAXP c

- That's complete crap, there is a wikipedia article on openoffice.org, windows, linux, etc. Are you going to remove those as well? This isn't an advertisement, it's documentation with a comparison of why someone would use this software. 19:42, 13 April 2006 (EST) Do not delete. Musashi5191645
- Delete as per nom, it isn't notable software. Musashi is trying to make this into a straw man argument by stating highly notable software. Ansell 23:52, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
- So just because something is new means it's worthy of deletion? How are people supposed to find out new information if the people with access to said information use that sort of mentality? Isn't this supposed to be a democracy? Just because something isn't popular does not give you or anyone else the right to censor it. Musashi5191645
- Misplaced Pages is not a democracy. RasputinAXP c
