The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. (non-admin closure) 10 days is enough. Weighing the arguments, I don't think a consensus has been reached. (non-admin closure) - ALLST✰R▼^echo _{wuz here @} 06:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nuvola

Non-notable set of software icons. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 13:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep Very notable icon set. Used in practically all templates on Wikimedia projects, and anything powered by MediaWiki, for that matter.--Unionhawk ^Talk 14:17, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Notable due to its extensive usage in Wikipedia and various Wikimedia projects. —BMRR (talk) 19:14, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Seems worthwhile...Modernist (talk) 23:54, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:26, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment My gut feeling is that this is notable but some discussion about the sourcing (or lack thereof) is needed. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Kitteh sez "WANT SAUCES PLZ" for notability and verifiability or Delete. Drawn Some (talk) 00:41, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I want to say Keep if sources can be found, but a quick search I did didn't turn up much. --Susan118 (talk) 01:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I really want to keep this too, but that's just my systematic bias talking. ;) Gigs (talk) 01:40, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The thought did cross my mind that maybe myself and others who want to keep it, are using our own definitions of notability and not Wikipedia's. It seems there should be a place for it somewhere on Wikipedia, though.--Susan118 (talk) 02:00, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's just a set of software icons...not really notable enough for it's own article. --MasterOfTheXP (talk) 12:52, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Simple: delete the article and the icons. Non-notable icons have no place here. Get some notable from Billy G. NVO (talk) 20:39, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What exactly constitutes a "notable" icon? Must a newspaper or magazine article have been written about it? And if you delete all of the icons, aren't you going to break about a zillion Wikipedia templates? —BMRR (talk) 20:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep: These are very much notable and are used not only by Wikipedia, but by other projects as well. Tothwolf (talk) 22:19, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If this [1] is enough to establish WP:N for open source software articles it should be more than enough to establish notability for a freely licensed icon library. Tothwolf (talk) 22:31, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - A great icon set, but does not meet general notability guidelines. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 23:37, 13 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been included on the and David Vignoni page(s), which are related to this deletion discussion. User:Ikip Ikip (talk) 16:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or merge with David Vignoni there are 129,000 articles with Nuvola icon, 34,000 with Nuvola and "David Vignoni" Ikip (talk) 16:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep - extremely common app, used at many colleges. Bearian (talk) 18:58, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The problem is that this article appears to be a repository of Nuvola icons with very little to describe them as would befit an encyclopedia. I don't know if an article about icons is really necessary on Wikipedia. Wikiwoohoo (talk) 02:13, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
