This is the third nomination of this article. The first result was delete as non-notable. The second I speedy deleted as a recreation of an article previously deleted at AfD. However, on my talk page, editors provided a range of additional sources. Some of these certainly do not meet RS criteria. Some are in Russian, so I can't tell. One is to HAKER, which may well be a reliable source. However, I'm not qualified to tell. I have now restored this and brought to AfD so that more eyes can see it, and hopefully reach a final community decision.

Apologies in advance for the length of this nomination! I have no particularly strong feelings either way, this is a procedural nomination really.

For your convenience, below are the sources added to my talkpage.

• Delete In the above I see tons of blogs, forums, and download directories. In the conversation on Ged UK's talk page, the developer goes on at length about which libraries and open source projects he uses code from and how many package repositories the software is in. None of this is evidence of notable: remarkable, distinguished, or prominent. Miami33139 (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 01:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
• Keep wiki.russianfedora.ru qutIM is default messenger in Russian Fedora Remix 12, and as it was said erlier it's represented in repositorious of FreeBSD and other Linux Distributions. Notable also means 'widely known', and by the way it's hard to find any russian linux user who doesn't know qutIM. EuroElessar (talk) 05:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
• Keep As noted before qutIM was used as example in Nokia's Qt for Symbian Developer's Library. It was mentioned in Basyskom's presentation at aKademy 2008 as example in one of sections. As well qutIM is one of few examples of cross-platform opensource multiprotocol IM. For example, how many ICQ clients you know which support *nix systems? And which of theese are up-to-date, support other functions besides just chat and has nice gui? KPanic (talk) 09:59, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Miami33139 you are dumb! This app really rocks! It is very popular in Russia, Germany, Czech Republic and many other countries! xtazz (talk) 11:21, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

There's absolutely no need for personal abuse. If you continue, you will be blocked. Comment on the content, not the editor. GedUK  15:10, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

• Keep Doing a small walk through all the articles in Misplaced Pages, dedicated to various IMs, I've found that (apart from the one regrading Pidgin) the rest: first don't have (more) RR and second by the look of them are not (more) notable then qutIM's one is, but they are not suggested for deletion. Of course, articles like Bukkake have their RR and are definitely "notable". Dear Miami33139, if people don't find it notable enough why is it translated to other languages? You definitely spit on these people's faces (including me), that are trying to contribute. For me QT-Apps is one of the most reliable sources, when looking for OS software, and for sure highest rated apps are notable. Cheers! Boyan.kiroff (talk) 12:46, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Besides all, qutIM is rather popular client. When the 0.2 version was released, there were more than 70000 downloads of the program only in the release day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.218.186.254 (talk) 13:01, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
• Keep Qutim in our days from day to day will be added in most of Linux and BSD distributions. I really willing see article about it in wikipedia. Hubbitus (talk) 13:12, 18 December 2009 (UTC) This template must be substituted.
• Keep QutIM - is the most valuable and worthy pretender to be named "Linux Must Have!!!" in IM nomination. Besides that fact, that it is in UNDER CONSTRUCTIUON state it's very perspective soft. By the way, it's cross-platform and multi-protocol!!! MUST HAVE!!! KEEP!!! -Varelka 16:33, 18 December 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.191.99.79 (talk) This template must be substituted.
