Mosaic notation program

A google search for "Mosaic notation program" returned 19 hits. The recently deleted kitler article was deleted, yet there are 422,000 google hits for the search term "kitler". Therefore, this page is clearly not notable and should be deleted. Yeah! Delete this piece of garbage!

• Speedy Keep As WP:POINT Nomination. Kitler was not deleted for lack of notability. It was speedily deleted because the article itself was judged as Patent Nonsense. Fan-1967 22:01, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep per Fan-1967. The software is obsolete, but provides enough of a history. --Dennis The TIger 02:32, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I remember using Mosaic, it was a decent program, and though obsolete, so is Fortran. Lastly, google "hits" are not the end-all/be-all of determining factors. It might not be very notable, but it is at least notable. Especially since programs like Finale use a lot of features and coding that Mosaic introduced. Wanna propose deleting Fortran while you're at it too? After all, it's been obsolete since like 1985, but it's innovation still fuels the computations done by most calculators. —ExplorerCDT 03:23, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Besides, "Mosaic notation program" wasn't the name of the program, which is why google fails on it. It's just the name of the article, to distinguish it from the numerous other uses of "mosaic", like the first web browser, or sticking colored stones on church walls.

• On that note, I would propose a move and redirect. Perhaps "Mosaic (musical notation program)"? --Dennis The TIger 05:07, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Not a bad idea. I've just added (with the current title, to the DAB page at Mosaic (disambiguation). Surprised it wasn't there. Fan-1967 05:14, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
