Article fails to convey notability of this software per the criteria at WP:NSOFTWARE. I can find no references to this product in any research papers; best I can find generally is this article on a French site which I'm unconvinced is sufficient to meet our notability threshold. Article appears to have been written by the product's creator. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 18:04, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- Delete as nominator, and pinging author Philippe Ollivier for comment, along with Hermera34 who originally tagged for speedy deletion, Adam9007 and Mike Rosoft who applied maintenance tags. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 18:07, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- Comment I removed the A7 tag because it doesn't apply; this article is about a piece of software, not the company that made it. I don't know why, but this seems to confuse a lot of people. Adam9007 (talk) 18:15, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Adam9007: just for the record, I completely agree with your actions — this article is not eligible for deletion under CSD A7, hence I've now brought it to AfD. I pinged you only in case you wanted to comment on the deletion discussion, and for completeness, given there's only been 4 contributors to the article. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 18:31, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- @UkPaolo: That's nice to know, especially as I recently had a lot of hoo-ha about my interpretation and application of A7! Adam9007 (talk) 18:39, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

- Philippe Ollivier left a blank comment on this page, and the following on my talk page [1], which as a courtesy I'll copy below, since it's relevant to this discussion. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 19:03, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I am one of the Logelloop developers and the writer of the article on Logelloop. The base of my article is : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinberg_Cubase I mean, I just want to make an article in the same style as as articles about other softwares on Wikipedia.
You'll also find some other articles on audio software as Ableton Live : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ableton_Live and I think Logelloop, as a real time looping software, may have an article in Wikipedia.
This article is useful to make link for some pages related to audio looping (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loop_(music), https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_looping)
If you think that this article is not useful on Wikipedia, please delete it. Thank you very much, best regards, Philippe Ollivier
- Comment Per the author of this article, sounds like this is a conflict of interest and is strongly discouraged. Perhaps the article should be tagged with the COI tag while this is being discussed. Hermera34 (talk) 19:16, 3 January 2016 (UTC)
- I have checked the references in the article, but the only useful things I have found at the websites are an interview with the author, and a comparison chart (with descriptions apparently copied straight from the authors). Google search didn't return anything much better. I'm afraid it's a delete from me. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 19:53, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

- Delete Apart from book, newspaper and other archives, I have searched my university's repository. Found nothing but the link noted by the deletion requesting editor. I have read the general notability guidelines. I do not know if any specific guidelines exist for software. If there are, please guide me. Based on my assessment, this article should be deleted.
