• Good Article: Contains all the info I need and is definitely Wiki style. From what I can see all the obstacles that users have reported and would go in favor of deleting have been removed. The software is definitely notable and the tons of references below show the benefits it might bring. --Jordevstefan (talk) 07:43, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete No 3rd party sources to prove notability under wp:nsoftware.--Jeffrd10 (talk) 13:26, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Software seems interesting enough but without sufficient sources it can't claim notability or be expanded.--Tco03displays (talk) 13:36, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete The product and its company merely seem to exist. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 15:16, 13 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Good Article I use this application and it is great! The article is informative and the company is highly known here in Sweden User:VictorySweden — VictorySweden (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
• Nice article The article is proper, I have worked with this international company and am using this product for my every day work. User:erememel —Preceding undated comment added 15:53, 13 December 2013 (UTC) — erememel (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Delete It might be good software. No one is disputing that. The question is whether it's notable. For those canvassed, the criteria for software to be notable are any of:

1. The software is discussed in reliable sources as significant in its particular field. References that cite trivia do not fulfill this requirement. See following section for more information.
2. The software is the subject of instruction at multiple grade schools, high schools, universities or post-graduate programs. This criterion does not apply to software merely used in instruction.
3. The software is the subject of multiple printed third party manuals, instruction books, or reliable reviews, written by independent authors and published by independent publishers.
4. It is published software that has been recognized as having historical or technical significance by reliable sources. However, the mere existence of reviews does not mean the software is notable. Reviews must be significant, from a reliable source, and/or assert notability.

If you can show that Dropmind fits any of those categories, I'd be delighted to see the evidence and will change to a keep. But from what I've seen it doesn't - Google gave me nothing useful just now. But I can't, unfortunately read the Swedish press at all and don't know what e.g. notable newspapers in Sweden would be.

• Delete. Most of the article is about the Seavus company, which is covered by it's own article. No need to have a seperate article for this product, just to squeeze in two descriptive sentences. Maybe a section about the software could be added to the Seavus (company) article? Josh3580_talk/hist 17:47, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Seems legit: This article has good information. It is written in an unbiased manner. --Magjov (talk) 08:11, 16 December 2013 (UTC)— Magjov (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
• Redirect- to Seavus company. No notability apart from parent company. Refs in article do not constitute significant coverage in reliable sources, and are instead blogs, incidental mentions, or company pages. A search did not reveal significant RS coverage.Dialectric (talk) 07:12, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
