Windows Live Messenger Companion

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Article lacks a reliable source. The only source mention in the article is a self-published source, a blog post by the author of this article (Damaster98 (talk · contribs)). Fails to comply with General Notability Guideline. Fleet Command (talk) 11:19, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think merging with Windows Live Messenger would be a fair and valid outcome. Fleet Command (talk) 12:22, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A reliable source (the official website of the subject of the article) has been added to the article. As such, this AfD and the reason behind this AfD is no longer valid. Thanks. --Damaster98 (talk) 11:55, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  - Oh, there it is! A tiny little section titled messenger companion. Fleet Command (talk) 07:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Objection: This article still fails to comply with GNG because Messenger Companion haven't received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject. The source that you introduced is neither secondary nor significant coverage. After all, Wikipedia is not a mean of promoting Microsoft products. (Your blog post was secondary but was not other things.) Fleet Command (talk) 07:18, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it fails WP:GNG, no reliabe third party sources [1]. Armbrust ^Talk _Contribs 22:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 10:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Impossible!!! I am sure I carried out step 3! 1000% sure. Perhaps a rollback has happened? Fleet Command (talk) 10:28, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any edit to the daily afd page in your list of contributions since June 5... Not a big problem, anyway (the bot is there for this). Tizio 10:58, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Um, don't really do Wiki talk pages so this may be wrong, but I'd like to give my opinion. This article explained to me what the software was about, I would have had no idea and probably installed it had I not found this page. I suggest this page stays. -24.67.88.189 (talk) 01:13, 26 June 2010 (UTC)"[reply]
