BestAddress HTML Editor

This doesnt appear to be notable. I can only find one source that looks usable[1] and no book sources. There are a few product reviews online, but they are not in depth and don't have an author. It has been known by this name for over five years, according to the 2005 report by the creator, which is used as a reference on the article. John Vandenberg ^(chat) 07:50, 10 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Per nominator. Searching for the product's name in Google Web only returns unique 937 results, most of which are shareware sites or are sites involved in software piracy. The remaining are blogs, forums, and sources that fail WP:RS. The article claims the product has to have won 40 awards, the lack of coverage is suspicious and suggests advertising intent. Searching for "BestAddress HTML Editor" AND award -"Creating websites has never been easier with this multi-award-winning HTML editor" (to filter out shareware sites with the standard product description), Google returns 426 results, none of which appear to be RS.

Delete - No coverage in reliable sources. It's easy to win awards; some webs sites give them away like candy. -- Whpq (talk) 14:08, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Awards are significant notice by third parties and should not be dismissed out-of-hand. This has been seriously reviewed and the review was favorable. I don't like the review criteria. I think it skews the results to those programs that are promoted to reviewers. I would much prefer a software criteria that goes by how big a user and/or developer community downloads and supports the software. Nevertheless, this software meets wikipedia's flawed criteria and should be kept. Dlw20070716 (talk) 01:07, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Which awards has it won? And how do we verify the size of the user/developer community? We need reliable & independent sources for those facts. If you know of any serious reviews, please indicate where we can locate it. The tucows.com review is not critical and the author is not selective. see http://www.drff.com/ John Vandenberg ^(chat) 09:35, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
