- Oppose - article properly redirected to Panorama Tools before a deletion template was placed. I would recommend administrators check the Talk:PanoTools and Talk:Panorama Tools page for past discussions on this topic. John has a major conflict of interest problem with the use of this abbreviated name very commonly used for this software. The official Source Forge developers of the official project also commonly refer to the software as PanoTools. Roguegeek (talk) 22:07, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- The author has never authorized a name change to PanoTools, PT or any other shortcut. The only opposing group to removing the reference is a splinter group that assumed the idenitiy of the PanoTools group, taking it's resources and member base. Again, undisputed facts.

- Thomas, how many names, shortcuts, etc. does a software need. Before you continue with your crusade, why don't you ask Helmut if he would rather have the name of his software use properly? (Panorama Tools) John Spikowski 22:36, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
