Software that doesn't seem to have any significant coverage by reliable sources in the article or my searches, failing WP:GNG. Winner 42 Talk to me! 20:08, 13 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Unlikely better notable for the software notability guidelines. SwisterTwister talk 05:06, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking independent references. A search turned up download sites and blog entries, but no significant WP:RS coverage.Dialectric (talk) 15:56, 14 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to ext2#Under other operating systems. There are trivial mentions scattered throughout sources, such as this article in PC Magazine, but that's not really enough to satisfy the GNG. For fear that this would be deleted without a merge, I added a very brief section to ext2 about the larger concept (accessing Linux files from inside Microsoft Windows). Since ext2ifs is now mentioned in that article, and it has a third party reliable source, I think redirection is quite valid. There are a couple more of these articles about Windows-based ext2 utilities that could probably be redirected/merged there, but we can worry about that later.
