Not notable and created by someone with a conflict of interest (named "User:Openddr" who was subsequently blocked). I originally tagged as a G11, but this was contested by "Wikiman972"(2 edits). Software has been available 36 hours but has been downloaded less than 100 times. VictorianMutant^(Talk) 21:47, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi VictorianMutant, if you don't agree with some text in Openddr why don't you propose a change instead of deleting the article? The reason why there are only 100 downloads is, I guess, because the project has been launched 2 days ago. It has been presented in a very interesting speech at mobile2days in Sofia at 4th of november. Do you think you can close this AfD if a reference to the launch and to the young life of the project is added?Johnwhite99 (talk) 16:21, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Johnwhite99, you might wish to read WP:DELETE to better understand the process, and the general notability guidelines to better understand the purpose of Wikipedia - a new project clearly cannot meet notability requirements for an encyclopedia article, and Wikipedia is not simply a directory of products (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:37, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. New product that has received practically no coverage. Simply not notable. Taking into account the possible COI the only option would be to delete. Яehevkor ✉ 16:03, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:GNG, not notable. ukexpat (talk) 16:18, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not delete. I attended the event Mobile2Days in Sofia where Werner Keil, a veteran of the Java developer community, was presenting OpenDDR and it seemed to me a fair interesting open source project (LGPL, no commercial licensing is available). Maybe adding a reference to the agenda of the event would be enough to have a reliable source and to avoid deletion? Vladimirjjd (talk) 16:35, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe any of that would help the article pass the general notability guidline. Simply existing and being interesting is not a criteria for notability or for the article to be kept. Яehevkor ✉ 16:52, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the product has not received enough coverage for it to be notable. DinosaurDan (talk) 22:35, 7 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. -- Whpq (talk) 17:31, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
