Notability
editI've cited two independent and in-depth sources that talk primarily of BestCrypt. Is this enough to "establish notability"? There are also some sources on various conferences, comparing BestCrypt to other disk encryption solutions, such as [1] [2], and a bunch of others merely mentioning it [3] [4] [5] [6] [7], but they aren't relevant enough to add them to the article in my opinion. -- intgr 10:12, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- For what it's worth, I'm in no way related to Jetico or BestCrypt, and I do not even personally use any of their products. However, I do believe the product is notable due to its relative popularity (although I am having a hard time establishing sources for that). -- intgr 17:52, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- Notable as being one of the earliest commercial OTFE systems, and for also being one of first (only?) commercial systems to support Linux. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.110.147.209 (talk • contribs)
- Scramb'ler 128 for the Commodore 128 came out in 1989, among others in google groups. Family Guy Guy (talk) 02:29, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion - sources for notability
edit@MrOllie Sorry, back when I created this article (2006) I clearly had no clue about the notability guideline, and the article is pretty bad.
But when searching for sources now, I think there may be enough independent sources with significant coverage to barely satisfy WP:GNG:
- An article in Hindawi, which appears to be a peer-reviewed journal: https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/3fcf/30cf0b17387469c87602141a01ffda32ca3f.pdf
- LinuxJournal review: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5938
- PCWorld review: https://www.pcworld.com/article/456146/review-bestcrypt-lives-up-to-its-name-with-excellent-features.html
Probably not helpful for notability:
- Some ransomware that uses BestCrypt: https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/fortinet-devices-distribute/
- A Hungarian review (2023): https://techwok.hu/2023/04/21/bestcrypt-fajlok-es-mappak-titkositasa-windows-macos/
