Talk:TIB (file format)

Deletion

This article was proposes for deletion, and I don't think this should be deleted, for many reasons:

• Acronis True Image is a very notable software and this is the file format used by it
• I don't think this is presented as a guide, nor a FAQ, like it is said on the reasons to delete it
• The file format itself is notable, it has thousands of hits on google for "tib file format", it is widely discussed on forums, and it is in fact so important, that VMware, a company complety unrelated to Acronis, supports that format in it's products.

Now, this may not go by the policy of "notability" in wikipedia, but it is pretty hard to establish notability regarding software, keep in mind that there are not many reasons for "third party reliable sources" to talk about some file format... but they do talk about Acronis True Image... I think it should be kept for this reasons. SF007 (talk) 03:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
