Non notable, defunct software. This article (which appears to have been added by the software's author) has no independent sourcing of any kind, so it does not meet the general notability guideline and should be deleted. I've searched and I cannot find any reliable sources to verify the article or it's claims to be 'revolutionary'. MrOllie (talk) 12:11, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well, to begin with, this is not a new article and I am NOT the one who wrote this article originally, just added some further information. There are many sources to backup the notability of this product. This product is considered to be notable because of its ability to handle multi-lingual text on Amiga computers before that was common. Just look at www.aminet.net and other sources for Amiga products. All the sources that follow are independent. Most of them are from the years 1989-1994 and many sources aren't indexed by Google.

I see two indiscriminate product directories, An old usenet post, and a scanned image that is too small to be legible. These are not the multiple, independent sources that we need. - MrOllie (talk) 13:36, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response. Aminet is the official site for Amiga software. The write up (that appears too small) is here again:Article about Rashumon There are MANY other resources, most of them unfortunately are printed material but I have asked colleges form the Amiga community to look for such. Please remove the deletion nomination to give us time to provide more references but in my opinion, the sources that are currently will be sufficient to keep this article any how. Just to let you know, the Amiga magazines that mentioned Rashumon were: Amiga World (just added a link to it), and Amazing_Computing. The scanned write-up is from a UK magazine named Amiga Format. (I have the original somewhere). Michael.haephrati (talk) 13:52, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated my original list of sources and argument as per your comments. --Michael.haephrati (talk) 22:02, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Back then bidirectional support and proportional fonts were not features built into the OS and Rashumon had both. I was one of the customers and supporter of Rashumon. It was a product very unique to the Amiga in general and Amiga users in Israel in particular. Agovrin (talk) 05:00, 22 August 2013 (UTC) Washington, USA[reply]
