Not "notable"?

"The topic of this article may not meet Wikipedia's general notability guideline..."

I'm not sure why. It's a significant-enough software site that's being going for 10 years. They also publish the popular FileHippo Update Checker (freeware). As users must give it permission to check the versions of their installed software, it seems to me that some of them would like to know a bit more about the publisher first. That's what brought me here. AndyFielding (talk) 03:47, 16 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Please see the article again: Do you see the blue link on "general notability guideline"? Please click on it.

Best regards,

• The Washington Post - try the FileHippo Update Checker. This small program quickly checks your installed programs for updates, then opens your Web browser to a page on the FileHippo download site from which you can download the latest versions

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on FileHippo. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20140426223549/http://filehippo.com/ to http://filehippo.com

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

FileHippo App Checker, no updates since 2015 ?

Not sure if FileHippo App Checker and File Hippo website is actually still valid/not-stale or updated on a regular basis. "Popular Software" shows a bunch of Windows drivers which aren't really popular downloaded software.

• FileHippo.com https://filehippo.com/download_app_manager/
• App Updater (Not updated since 2015) https://filehippo.com/download_app_manager/history/
• Zoombie website discussion https://community.norton.com/en/forums/has-filehippocom-become-zombie-website

Add some linkages to alternative options: (link ring/loop?)
