No significant coverage in reliable sources. The article contains unreliable sources, and the subject gains only passing mentions in reliable sources and literature. Previously PRODded but declined. wumbolo ^^^ 13:43, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep (changed per below) Merge to
  List of Firefox extensions - we have two computer industry sources, but not enough depth. If more are uncovered here consider this a Keep. Widefox; talk 01:17, 17 September 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Comment Due to controversies on a set of articles of which this is one can I respectively suggest admins only close this and a full 168 hours is allowed before relist and non-admins carefully consider before re-listing. Thankyou.Djm-leighpark (talk) 00:27, 26 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep two reliable paper sources plus a bunch of web citations should be enough for this type of article. Additionally, deleting this article now has an element of kicking someone when he is down. Due to no fault of his own, the author of Flashgot (Giorgio Maone) is currently not maintaining it and it is incompatible with current Firefox. Reason is that Maone is also the principal author of the extremely popular NoScript, and he is putting all his resources into getting NoScript running on the new Firefox API. Until then, Flashgot is left in temporary unmaintained state, and it is unlikely to generate any more press coverage. We should wait with the delisting until it is clear if Maone (or someone else, it is GPL after all) picks up Flashgot and ports it to the new Firefox API or if it is left dead for good.

• Comment I added five more reviews, making seven RS, at least two are OK for notability, so more than GNG. Ping only participant who hasn't !voted User:Djm-leighpark. Widefox; talk 23:22, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  "At least two" is not "more than GNG". wumbolo ^^^ 11:32, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In what way? See

WP:GNG There is no fixed number of sources required since sources vary in quality and depth of coverage, but multiple sources are generally expected (emphasis own). Widefox; talk 11:55, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

If you think 2 > "multiple", then you also think 1 = "multiple", which is wrong. wumbolo ^^^ 13:30, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Except that's a straw man. See wikt:multiple More than one. 2>1. (and by "more than GNG", it's clearly short for "more than needed by GNG" ie satisfied GNG, i.e. (2 to 7) > 1 if we're being precise, not that I've ever seen that at AfD) I note that's the same reasoning as User:Wefa.

• Comment Thankyou Wirefox for you good faith ping ... while I am tracking this AfD the ping may be seen as a vote-stacking inappropriate
  WP:CANVAS and it is probably best I do not vote on this AfD. 04:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Djm-leighpark (talk • contribs) 04:02, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply

• Keep. Another {{cite book}} added, sourcing is sufficient to meet GNG. Sam Sailor 14:42, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
