Appears to be non-notable software. ukexpat (talk) 18:42, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete not really notable in itself. From what I saw Google hits seem to all be from download sites and creators. But article is less than a day old. AlbinoFerret (talk) 19:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Some of the download g-hits are also reviews, but besides those, g-scholar seems to find a lot of references to this. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 00:48, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
some are, many arent; Z-StatPlus seems something else altogether, an anti-static product. DGG (talk) 01:50, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see- some of those are off topic (and some are passing mentions). Some of those hits do refer to this piece of software; something to look at. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 21:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, a promotional article for non-consumer statistical software. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 16:55, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wow. Could you tell me in what sentence have you seen promotional words?P.S. I stop this discussion (for me). If wiki doesn't need new articles, it's better to publish them in magazines without any GPLs. I thought community needs more new referable information in comparison with articles without references.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:37, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - hits exist, but not sufficient about the software, establishing its notability. Frank | talk 20:17, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and tag with ((refimprove))—I had come here to close this as no-consensus; however, I found that the software notability guideline is now a dusty part of history and this is a borderline case. I would say that there are two reliable sources that address the software as the main topic ... but they are borderline reliable sources. I have converted these from external links to in-line references. The first is a newsletter produced by a Mac users organization in Canada; the reason why I say this is a potential reliable source is that there is a newsletter content editor and there are organization posts filled with named individuals. I have classed this as a news citation. The second is a blog entry at MacResearch.org; normally, I agree that blogs should not be taken as reliable sources. However, this blog both has a set of named staff and specifically has scientists who are using Macs in their research as contributors. I have classed this as a web citation. These two, in addition to verifiability lent by the company linkages, are sufficient to keep the article as a stand-alone for now. I do not believe that the citations in the article sufficiently support notability of the software at present ... but notability is a guideline and I ask that this article be given the benefit of the doubt for now. If no indisputably reliable sources become available in six months - it should be re-nominated for deletion, in my opinion. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
