The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus, default to keep. The improvements by User:Bilby seem to go quite a ways toward addressing the deletion concerns; however, if notability is still in question, the article may be renominated for deletion. –Black Falcon ^(Talk) 04:45, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No sources proving the notability of the subject, seems to be a vanity article. Reinis^talk 14:49, 16 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. While I'd like to recommend tagging rather than a delete, this article has too many problems: notability, NPOV, lack of 3rd-party sources, and it's an orphan. I just don't see this article being cleaned up to that extent. --AnnaFrance (talk) 14:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - while I agree with Fabrictramp that the article has some problems, I've added a few references and my feeling is that it is probably enough to establish notability, and hopefully helps with the lack of 3rd party sources that was identified. I guess I'll see if others think so too. :) I also tried to tackle some of the POV stuff, but don't think I've fully addressed that yet. In practice Lightbox is very popular with web developers (or at least, with web developers that I know), and fairly significant - I gather it was the first, really good, image viewer, and led to some pretty heavy development by others along similar lines. If it survives AfD I'll see if I can expand it a bit more. - Bilby (talk) 05:05, 21 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - IBM has a web page (here) about it and the article is fully sourced. If anything the article is incomplete.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 03:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
