Depends if you're Wikilawyering or not. A blatantly non-notable
SourceForge project may well be speedied under A7 (or G11) rather than
waste everybody's time with a longer process.
What makes a software program "blatantly non-notable"? The one I have
in mind is not a SourceForge project. To give an example, what about
[[RoboGEO]]?
What must an
article about a software program do to "assert the
importance or significance of its subject"?
See [[WP:SOFTWARE]]
Are you saying you agree with that proposed guideline? It doesn't
seem like many software programs fall under it. If I pick a random
software program from
download.com, should it probably be in, or
probably be out?
