AjaxWrite

This a a new product which I feel has not yet achieved any degree of notability and I prodded it as Yet another word processor - 112 Ghits. That was removed with the comment Reason for proposed deletion was non-sensical. Bringing it here for the community to consider.

Delete as per my nom. Dlyons493 Talk 12:41, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: There was a story on slashdot about it, which may help to establish notability or otherwise. — sjorford (talk) 13:35, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Site is gaining press. Perhaps merge with Michael_Robertson (owner/CEO) in the interim. Cleanr 16:00, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: It was not clear to me why you wished to remove this article. The phrase Yet another word processor - 112 Ghits didn't 't make it in the slightest bit clear WHY you wanted it deleted.The product is still relatively unknown, but what's the harm in it having its own entry in Wikipedia?
- Comment Perhaps the prod comment was a bit terse - apologies. As I see it, Wikipedia articles record things that have already become notable rather than things that may become so in the future. Dlyons493 Talk 20:19, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment Fair enough. What DOES 112 Ghits mean though? Whether or not Wikipedia only records notable things or not, I don't know. I've always thought an article on everything in existence was the aim?
Delete it basically got slammed on slashdot as imature. It seems that these days everyone is writting Ajax word processors, Writely, Zoho Writer, seem to be leaders of this pack. Give it six months and then we will see if it hits notability. It might be worth creating an article Ajax word processors or similar to document this growing trend. AjaxWrite could be mentioned in the list there. --Salix alba (talk) 20:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
