Not an obviously notable bit of software. I declined a WP:CSD#A7 and decided a redirect to Wvdial would be a compromise, but was reverted. Bringing discussion here to see what other options we've got. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:23, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As kppp has a separate article, then GNOME-PPP should also. So deleting this article is a vandal POV. Fsfolks (talk) 16:32, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

kppp has also been nominated for deletion here for the same reason. Personally I think we should have fewer good articles on this topic area, rather than lots of stubby ones - that would be better for the reader wouldn't you think? The term "vandal POV" makes no sense, different people have different views and life would be incredibly dull if we all had the same opinions. Also, vandalism has a very specific term on Wikipedia - it means deliberately making the encyclopedia worse. Like this, for example. Having a different viewpoint to somebody else and enforcing it aggressively can certainly be disruptive, but it's not vandalism. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 16:38, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think that this is a good idea, since the WvDial article will not be enough to contain all detailed infos about kppp and GNOME-PPP. Fsfolks (talk) 16:59, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Wvdial Thanks Ritchie333 and Fsfolks. I would like to apologise first for applying the incorrect tag to the article. That being said, I cannot see much of a reasoning keeping the pages. As of right now, I cannot see how merging content from the two articles to Wvdial would cause much of a trouble. In addition, I do not believe the article meet WP:NSOFT. While I acknowledge the presence of the review at http://www.osnews.com/story/7253/Quick_Review_Introduction_to_Gnome-PPP, it would appear to me that it failed to assert GNOME-PPP as being significant in its particular field. The article also failed to claim importance in its content. If you have further details to add for GNOME-PPP and kppp, you are welcomed to add them to the articles and expand them. If further references are added then obviously it would help to convince people that this software is indeed notable. - Andrew Y _talk 20:27, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect or delete. Articles about non-notable end-user front-ends belong on blogs or Wikia. I'm really dubious the notability of a lot of these Linux software articles, as most of them are just manuals. But I'll go along with a redirect for the sake of consensus.
