Prod was disputed. No non-trivial third party RS to support WP:CORP notability. This source (a non-notable marketing site) devotes about a sentence to Dealply. This source only mentions Dealply's parent company, devoting a paragraph to it. This one appears to be a press release, and the remaining ones simply ID Dealply as having been picked up by anti-malware software. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 01:23, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Disclosure: I am the article's creator. Replaced press release with a reliable source and updated information based on source change. Fact remains that with millions of users, the company is a notable one. Continuing to find and addmore reliable sources regarding notability. Article does not warrant deletion.

Comment The link you added is just a "success story" from another non-notable company that sold something to Dealply. That hardly qualifies under WP:RS. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 15:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete It's a notable topic, but the topic here is privacy-invasive browser toolbars, not Dealply specifically. I'd welcome a broad article on such, but this product is a footnote or section, not an article. No objection to userfying it as a starting point for such a broadened article though.

Comment Good point, Andy; alternatively, that topic could easily be expanded in Browser toolbar. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 18:32, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather keep browser toolbar for those (good or bad) that are literally toolbars in browsers. The privacy-invasive aspect is independently notable and it can apply to many things other than toolbars: from Comet Cursor to Angry Birds. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:01, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - There is a lot of internet discussion about how to remove this software but I'm unable to find any reliable sources. ~KvnG 17:48, 8 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking significant coverage in reliable sources. Sources provided are incidental mentions, not RS, or are associated with the company. A search did not turn up any significant RS references.Dialectric (talk) 12:41, 15 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
