Delete No sign anywhere this meets GNG, A search for any RS/sig coverage comes up empty. Triplestop x3 20:17, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per the clear lack of notability as evidenced by a complete lack of non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications! JBsupreme (talk) 22:24, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 23:43, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: This is part of Quiet_Internet_Pager from Quiet Internet Pager. Forums are located here, QIP Forums You will most likely need to use Google Translate to view it, but it is out there, and several articles reference this software including The Gameguard Wikipedia entry. --Apb91781 (talk) 07:00, 28 September 2009 (UTC) — Apb91781 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Keep and expand. Enough sources, actively used software, prominent in it's own category:[1][2][3][4]. Nominator is not familiar with chat/messenger related topic and fails to provide compelling reasons for deletion. Wikipedia is not a thimble. 83.254.210.47 (talk) 10:48, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- ...and so what makes you the expert? The basis for determining notability on Wikipedia is non-trivial coverage from reliable third party publications (hint: BLOGS DON'T COUNT) -- this subject lacks said coverage hence the article can and should be deleted. JBsupreme (talk) 18:07, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on the basis of the Hartwell blog, if he is indeed an expert; otherwise merge as Apb suggests. DGG ( talk ) 03:32, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep on IP comment basis, and fact that article shouldn't be nominated just because its unsourced. That doesn't mean unsourceable. --Milowent (talk) 04:37, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
