Wssecure

Wssecure (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Only 158 Google hits , most of which seem to be rather trivial links from other pages or listings at download sites. Several different anons and apparent single purpose accounts have been created to get first an external link, then a wikilink, to info about this software in Spyware. They are constantly reverted without explanation as to why this is important, often from a new account. For this reason I do not consider this article to have been created in good faith.

  • Delete - no assertion of notability. MER-C 05:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Programs like HijackThis are still promoted by sites like download.com and through mass advertisements. But other free software that may not have thousands of Google hits, also need attention so that they can be useful to the general public. Misplaced Pages doesn't deserve to be thought as anything useful and is only meant for advertisements of commercial software. FSF is much better. - Fsf 10:11, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Not quite. Misplaced Pages is not for the promotion of software at all. Misplaced Pages is an online encyclopedia. - Mgm| 10:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes and it keeps articles of commercial software like HijackThis that claim to be from trusted sources. Well, all Wikipedians are retarded and they and the Misplaced Pages are not worth the trouble.

Not that I think this will persuade Fsf to come back, and/or change his/her mind, but HijackThis is here because it's not only popular but notable. People post logs from it all the time on discussion fora to help diagnose malware infections and get knowledgeable help. Whereas I don't see anything similar for this.
And, as always, saying "this needs attention" shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpose of Misplaced Pages and pretty much guarantees the article will be deleted. Daniel Case 15:57, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
