Becky!

• Delete - really not notable at all gren 02:51, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP - nobody knew about this page - there is a forum and a whole yahoo group on this emailclient - probably one of the best there is. POP§, IMAP, Remote Check, Richplugin structure, safe, cause no need to use IE .... tosbsas - here are the urls "htp://groups.yahoo.com/group/beckymail/" and "htp://www.mickeytheman.com/forums/index.php" tosbsas on march 12, 2005 10:00 hs
  • The above from 200.69.58.235; it is his only edit. —Korath (Talk) 01:21, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• KEEP - The not notable at all thing here is just the reason for deleting the article.. I find it very closed minded. rich 02:51, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The above from 200.77.161.183; it is his only edit. —Korath (Talk) 01:21, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 01:21, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Advertising. Wikipedia is not FreshMeat, and the program is not substantial. Even if it were, Wikipedia would not want ad-copy. Let people find out about the program from an advertising space, not from an encyclopedia, where it will never be searched. Otherwise, this is just page rank boosting.

• Delete, because of the spamming and possibility of this article being supported by sock puppets. Zscout370 03:21, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, unfortunately. This is the e-mail client my company (and a very big company it is, too) requires me to use. Thank gawd there's an English version. --Calton | Talk 05:19, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. Radiant_* 09:39, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Perhaps I'm blind, but this seems to be a legitimate entry for a legitimate email program. Granted, it could probably use a rewrite, but deletion? Can someone point out the vanity here?--Txredcoat 12:28, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Looks to me to be an article on a non-notable app, written by its author. Hence, vanity. BIMBW YMMV. Radiant_* 13:23, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, it's real, all right: it's Japanese, and (or so I'm told) fairly popular here in Japan. I work for a large Japanese company, and the IT department some months ago stopped supporting other e-mail clients (including Eudora, damnit) in favor of this. --Calton | Talk 15:35, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but with reservations. Article needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 13:34, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• delete as adspam unless a serious rewrite shows encyclopedic potential (number of users? free source availability?)
• Keep and (hopefully) rewrite. It seems to have a decent number of users. FreplySpang (talk) 15:04, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep:Seems like a legitamite product to meDeathawk 01:20, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
