This software product is not notable. It has the obligatory two minimum links but they do not measure up to any significance. This is spam posing as an article. Miami33139 (talk) 02:14, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Keep. I removed the pricing information, and I think the article is now neutral. - Eastmain (talk • contribs) 04:40, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Delete. This appears to be some form of SEO-related spammery. JBsupreme (talk) 05:37, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep. Seems like notable software to me. I can't see how it qualifies as spam. --Hm2k (talk) 15:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
~~Delete~~. Doesn't appear to be notable. The only two sources are the website and that of it's creator. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:23, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Comment User is talking about the Mint_(stats)#External_links NOT Mint_(stats)#References. --Hm2k (talk) 15:32, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

You know what? You're right I guess I was. I am still not convinced it's notable but sources help me say it is Switch to Keep. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 15:35, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Keep external sources, including a book, look solid. LotLE×talk 23:14, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep. Lots of books cover it [1] [2] [3][4] [5]. Pcap ping 05:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep popular and widely used. Mint has also inspired secondary products, both as plug-ins and iPhone apps. The comment about SEO is mistaken. MarkBernstein (talk) 22:32, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
Keep Why is it called (stats)? Shouldn't that be (software)? "Mint (stats)" gets a lot of Google news results for something totally unrelated. Adjusting the search I find an article about the software at Internet Financial News[6]. Also found a cached article [7] of www.thehostingnews.com which Google news search says is a legitimate news source. Dream Focus 06:04, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
