Non-notable virtual machine platform. Has some mentions in publications from the 2000s but did not appear to make any major impact. Natg 19 (talk) 04:52, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

- Keep It is unclear which policy or guideline nominator is referring to. There is significant coverage (not "mentions") in multiple reliable secondary sources independent of the subject, as suggested in WP:GNG. The word "impact" does not appear in Wikipedia:Notability, and is not a deciding factor when determining notability. --Bensin (talk) 17:05, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - Has good coverage in multiple independent sources (I only looked at the New Scientist and IT World Canada references, and I feel they are sufficient). I do wonder if it might need to be re-written from the present to the past tense though... Thparkth (talk) 20:42, 4 November 2022 (UTC)
- Keep - The article might need rewording and expansion, but the references already present in the article show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Notability is not temporary; that the references are not from within the past few years is not evidence of a lack of notability. While being "significant in its particular field" is one of the four criteria of WP:NSOFT, not meeting that criteria is not indicative of a lack of notability. - Aoidh (talk) 03:57, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
