Delete: I can't find significant coverage for this software. Joe Chill (talk) 16:04, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Keep: While significant coverage in books and/or the press is lacking, this software was tremendously important. For starters, it gets 50,000+ Google hits. Countless musicians who later went on to greener pastures have used it when starting out, i.e. Andrew Sega, Brothomstates, Jonne Valtonen, Infected Mushroom, and many others. Impulse Tracker was used to create the soundtracks of important games, such as Unreal and Unreal Tournament (see Unreal Tournament soundtracks), Age of Wonders, Chrono Resurrection, etc. No, I can't provide citations for these claims from books, articles in academic journals, etc., simply because tracker music has never been subject of books or academic journals. But I'm sure something can be done, some info gleamed from interviews, etc. For instance, here is a mention of Sega's IT experience. --Jashiin (talk) 16:26, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Redirect to Tracker (music software) or simply delete - I've been looking for sources for over a year now. I've no doubt that its popular - even influential - but if there's no way to base this on reliable sources then we shouldn't have an article on it (per WP:V policy).
