MacAmp[edit]

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable and long-time orphan that is completely unsourced. Some trivial mentions in Macintosh related books, and kept around as a sentimental download on several sites, but no significant coverage from looking at the first 50 results from news.google.com (set to pre-y2k archive search), books.google.com and scholar.google.com.

Keep - nothing has changed since the first AfD. Apparently the software represented an important "first" in MP3 decoding software applications. Racepacket (talk) 21:46, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Then why aren't there independent, reliable sources about the subject as references? Importance is a reflection of a subjects coverage outside Wikipedia. These two sentences could easily be placed in the WinAmp article under the section of historic or derivative works. I thought of this after nominating, and may withdraw the AfD if others agree this is an acceptable solution. Miami33139 (talk) 16:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Given the scope of the article and that no new information appears to be forthcoming, a logical outcome may well be to merge this information somewhere appropriate. Shereth 19:06, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- In reply to Shereth, I have moved any relevant information to the Winamp article as a historical and related work. MacAmp was done before Nullsoft actually existed, but that's why there is a historical work section. Miami33139 (talk) 05:38, 15 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. From the looks of it, this article should had been deleted the first time around. It got a free pass then and still has yet to be adequately sourced! Fails in notability. JBsupreme (talk) 23:06, 22 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep in light of changes make by Milowent. This has nothing to do with IRC at all, by the way. P.S. should this be renamed MACAST? JBsupreme (talk) 22:31, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Yeah, I realize this one isn't about IRC. I appreciate the reconsideration, JB. I think the name should stick for now, I have to go through some other sources, but it appears they returned to the original name later on.--Milowent (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the present article seems adequately sourced for notability. (I note that in the previous afd, started by a different ed, he stated right out front that the motivation was a content dispute about priority; fortunately, that is no longer the issue. ) DGG ( talk ) 00:47, 24 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comments Since Article Overhaul[edit]

Keep: Bad nom. I just added 11 references to the article, and there are more. There is No explanation for why consensus has changed from first AfD, and keep per DGG's comment there.--Milowent (talk) 19:50, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
