Nonnotable software project, no independent sources cited, article author also appears to be author of the software. Author removed prod tag without explanation or improvement of article. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

- Delete A good faith google / google news / google books search did not turn up any notability for this piece of software. There are hints of notability for an older database search scheme with the same name, but it doesn't appear the two are releated.--Fabrictramp(public) (talk) 21:23, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
- [Alexey Podrezov] First of all, please check editing history before making such claims. I did improve the article before I removed the prod tag. I wrote the preface explaining why the project is notable. Maybe the project is not notable for the entire world, but it is very known in the MSX community. Many MSX community pages are linking to my article, also there are a few discussions on msx.org resource about my project. A few similar software projects were started after my Caslink v1 was released because it caused inspiration, people started to see the use of their old MSX hardware again. And my presentations about the article were welcomed on several demoparties in Finland, including a such a big event as AltParty.
- [Alexey Podrezov] I am very much shocked by Wikipedia's policies and admin practices concerning deletion of articles. You guys approved articles about "rusty trombone" and similar kind of crap, but you want to delete my article that describes a software project that is used by a generation of gamers and enthusiasts on MSX hardware. What about innovation? What about computer history? What about technology? Should we just drop everything because 95% of Earth's population does not care?
