Keep This is valuable software, perhaps the very best of its kind. The links are useful. Roger d williams 09:14, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Carl: Stop removing my content. If you have a something to say, add it to the end of what's already posted. The next time you remove ANY of my content in the TALK or other comment sections I will request that you be ban for all the page abuse and personal attacks. John Spikowski 22:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The only Keep votes where from members of the group that promotes the software. (Carl, Thomas and Luca) This page only benefits the comercial vendor and is covered on the Panorama Stitchers, Viewers and Utilities page along with the other like panorama stitchers. I would like to reopen this page for deletion until comments from outside the "circle" are heard. Your thoughts? John Spikowski 20:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I have tried to keep this about cleaning up the mess of panorama vendors posting promo pages on the Wikipedia. I created the Panorama Stitchers, Viewers and Utilities page to try and bring some notability to the topic and make it easier for readers to find info about panorama software. The PanoToolsNG management group acts like a bunch of wiki bullies and dominate the pages with thier personal reasons for keeping seperate pages for panorama products. This discussion should be from non-associated editors that can look at the pages for face value and determine what's best for the Wikipedia as a whole. John Spikowski 22:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Tough decision, but I agree with your view. There seems to be a violation of conflict of interest on the AfD; I will relist. You and Einemnet seem to be accusing each other of vandalism, so please try to calm down the discussion between you two. User:Sr13 22:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

From the Panorama Stitchers, Viewers and Utilities page validity discussion.

• Strong Keep The purpose of Wikipedia is to provide information about things that the reader doesn't already know about. If you know about a particular software package, there are many sources of good information, as well as in most cases trial versions. I've spent an unreasonable amount of time searching for new QTVR utilities. I just discovered this article and am going through the apps mentioned and looking to see which ones I add to my set of tools. I would be very sad to see it go.

In addition, QTVR utilities are a very specialized field. There are often small utilities that do only one thing. They may not be on their own notable, but finding out about their existence is useful.Bhimaji 23:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep I can't see that it breaks any rules and nothing to stop other products having there own page if they keep to the rules. I am a user of this product and of a couple of other related products G8dhe 18:08, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
