Not notable. Unsourced. Wikipedia is not a software directory. Miami33139 (talk) 17:43, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand since it's a recognised server software, under its previous name psycMUVE you can find more references.[1] Historically, this software is around since the 90s, was used by MTV Europe[2] and BrasNET.[3]. As a historical side note the original author brought the action command (/ME) to IRC.[4] Technically, Psyced works as a bridge between it's native PSYC protocol and various other chat/messenging networks (e.g. IRC, XMPP, webchat), not many open source projects offer this functionality. 83.254.210.47 (talk) 18:48, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Being "recognized server software" is not a reason Wikipedia keeps articles. A search on Swedish Google, a wiki, a doc site, and another wiki are not reliable sources. Miami33139 (talk) 03:17, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Your deletion suggest should be rejected for formal reasons, you did not research the artcile's notability properly and still refuse to. The first link I provided points to more sources. Please do not mass-suggest articles to AfD in areas you are unfamiliar with, because other editors have to spend time to rescue articles that shouldn't be here in the first place. 83.254.210.47 (talk) 08:39, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  - Here an update, I investigated a bit further since the nominator refused to. The software is popular in Germany and a direct competitor to XMPP, there are celebrity chats and political debates hosted with Psyced. The software has apparently been used in multiple German TV awards show, is this possibly the most popular German distributed chat system? Perhaps we can include this AfD in both software and Germany related deletion discussions to get better information. Dankeschoen! 83.254.210.47 (talk) 00:06, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, plenty of sources out there, not nn by any means. -- Oldlaptop321 (talk · contribs) 21:17, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete If sources satisfying WP:N exist, please bring them forward. Google is not finding them, and I'm not seeing them. Remember there has to be enough to write a decent article about the software, not just a listing of its features. Wikipedia is not a catalog for software, after all.

Delete. If there are "plenty of sources out there", put your money where your proverbial mouth is and demonstrate that. I'm not seeing it. JBsupreme (talk) 22:18, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 00:48, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In spite of ARS rescue tag, no sources have come to light. Abductive (reasoning) 19:40, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I can't find significant coverage from reliable sources. I'm happy for Oldlaptop321 to find those sources out there and add them to this article - in which case I'll change my !vote if they are significant and from reliable sources - but I can't find them. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 11:17, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
