Delete?[edit]

Does this page REALLY need to be here? I mean since when was an Icon Set worthy of a page?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NeoRicen (talk • contribs) 07:54, 27 October 2007

Do you have a reason why we shouldn't have such an article? huji—TALK 10:21, 6 November 2007

Yeah I do, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Notability (UTC)

It's have 600 icons; Are available in packages for Windows and Macintosh; Is a sprite work by David Vignoni; And is often use in wikipedia --MCP9999 (talk) 01:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Windows[edit]

May be what we read here indicates that Nuvola really exists in Windows.... Anyways, it is not an appropriate reference for the phrase which needs citation. huji—TALK 10:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Read this: If you don't want installable packages as the two above, look for this symbol, it means you'll get a package containing all the png icons. This is the best choice for windows~ and mac~ users.[1]

It's not a "Windows package" so much as a package of icons that can be used in Windows (or Mac).

No, actually those are not download links at all, they link to package information for various Linux distributions and the FreeBSD ports tree. Those are valid refs to establish WP:N in showing that this icon set is included in multiple open source operating systems. These are pretty standard refs for Open Source Software articles when establishing notability for a particular software package. The first link to Google Books pulls up multiple books with information on the Nuvola icon set. I've got my hands full right now so I really don't have time to work on the article or play a game of keep vs delete in that AfD. Tothwolf (talk) 23:42, 14 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've just got my hands full... There should be more than enough in the 4+ books Google Books turned up to satisfy WP:RS (multiple published works) and the Linux package information (not download links) should deal with any remaining WP:N. Again, common stuff used for articles about Open Source Software, just never thought I'd see one of the widely used icon libraries go up for AfD ;) Tothwolf (talk) 05:12, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They're used on Wikipedia [citation needed][edit]

Seriously? We need to cite, on Wikipedia, that they're sometimes used on Wikipedia? Wow. What, we're going to cite Wikipedia as a source? That's bad, first off. That's citing yourself, second off. Epic fail, if I do say so myself. --Wbrhs (talk) 12:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
