Yet another promotion. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk)]] 23:45, Jul 5, 2004 (UTC) Relisting on vfd due to a deadlocked discussion -- Graham ☺ | Talk 20:00, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It's an advertisement. Delete it. - utcursch July 6, 2004
Discussion was moved here by Graham ☺ | Talk, was originally listed under June 30th.
Sockpuppet alert! And a delete vote alert as well. - Lucky 6.9 02:06, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Seems pretty popular, at least according to google. Weak keep. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:55, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete unless someone can prove that forensics investigators use this product - Tεx τ urε 17:19, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep - I've heard of this, and I think it is pretty popular. Pretty sure but not certain. FranksValli 18:57, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Regarding forensics investigators - it seems to be distinct from forensic crime scene investigators as we're used to hearing about. Computer forensics? See [[1]] Scroll down a bit to see the article on ISO Buster as a forensic tool. FranksValli 19:07, 6 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Advert. Wile E. Heresiarch 16:26, 11 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep, but rewrite. POVvy and ADVy. David Remahl 11:02, 13 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep - It's very useful and popular freeware program. Shall we vfd all of these too? Category:Microsoft software
Keep - It is indeed very popular and well known, I've seen it mentioned for forensic use but I can't recall where (If I can find it I will post it), most of all it nicely shows all these file-systems that are mentioned, for free, and a 'picture' says more than a 1000 words.
(Last two anon votes added from vfd main space by Graham ☺ | Talk)

NOTE: Unsigned votes on vfd don't count. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:58, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)

Current tally at time of relisting is 5 delete, 3 keep (excluding two unsigned votes). -- Graham ☺ | Talk 20:00, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

It's a shareware, Windows-only CD exploration program. If it's important, it's only because Windows doesn't provide an equally effective a way to browse CD and DVD file systems yet. Delete, we don't offer free advertising here. --Ardonik 00:34, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
- So we're going to delete this article because it performs functions that should be included in Windows? Rhobite 20:23, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
- Comment - Theres a very functional freeware version as well. --Buster
Delete. Can't honestly compare it to Microsoft Word and the likes. Allowing this one will really open the floodgates. -- Solitude 01:50, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Comment - Perhaps instead of comparing it to MS Word, compare it to Microsoft Bob --Buster
Delete for good measure. What Solitude said. Ambivalenthysteria 07:09, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Agree with Solitude too. Unless maybe it has a major role in real forensics or something. Ianb 16:01, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Keep - This is a popular and well-known program among Windows users. Rhobite 20:23, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
Delete. This is an ad. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:58, Jul 19, 2004 (UTC)
Keep - Quite a well known and handy utility. Chuq 04:10, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete - Utility has many others like it out there. Does not belong on Wikipedia. --Costyn 17:02, Jul 21, 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Needs to be edited with NPOV so that it functions as an article and not just an ad. Arevich 04:14, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Postdlf 15:00, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)
