The result was no consensus. This subject appears to be right on the borderline of notability. There doesn't seem to be any clear consensus one way or the other, therefore the article will be kept by default unless a future consensus forms. ‑Scottywong | chatter _ 22:09, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Subject of this article is not notable. In addition to the CNET and TopTenReviews sources mentioned in the article, I could find a Chip.de and a Softonic review as well, but none of these constitute the "significant coverage" required by WP:GNG. (See WP:WHYN for details.) I cannot find evidence to prove that this computer program has any impact. Codename Lisa ( talk) 11:17, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
This article WebCite from Datamonitor provides several paragraphs of coverage about the subject:
The review WebCite from Softonic.com provides six paragraphs of coverage about VideoPad.NCH Software, a provider of audio, video, business and telephony or VoIP tools and utilities, has added a playback speed variation feature to its VideoPad video editing software.
According to the company, the software's new capability comes just in time for summer, when outdoor activities, vacations, and get-togethers with family and friends mean taking lots of video. Users now have control over a video's action.
VideoPad lets users capture video directly from a DV Camcorder, VHS player, or webcam, while video, image, or audio files can be imported directly. The application supports all common video file formats, including avi, wmv, 3gp, wmv and divx.
This article WebCite from Redding Record Searchlight provides two paragraphs of coverage about the subject:
This article WebCite from The Sunday Times gives VideoPad a passing mention, so it doesn't contribute to notability. But the previous three sources do contribute to notability.If you don't like the interface or find Windows Movie Maker too bulky or difficult, a great alternative option is VideoPad Video Editor Pro (www.nchsoft ware.com/videopad/index.html). VideoPad offers a 14-day free trial; if you like it, you may want to spend $30 to buy it.
The easy-to-use VideoPad brings advanced features to the beginner. You can record your own voiceover narration or import recorded narrations, something Movie Maker lacks. Also, the full product lets you create Blu-ray DVDs, a feature that typically requires the purchase of additional software.
VideoPad passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". Cunard ( talk) 09:23, 22 September 2014 (UTC)
Cunard ( talk) 11:28, 28 September 2014 (UTC)The only benefit of keeping the edit history deleted that I can see would be to prevent users from undoing the redirect and restoring the deleted content. But this is easily remedied by reverting the restoration and fully protecting the redirect.
A benefit of restoring the article's history would be to allow non-admins to see what the encyclopedia once said about the subject.
Using the deleted content for a merge is not the only benefit. Another example is that in the future if sources surface that demonstrate notability, the deleted content can be easily reviewed. Without needing to ask an admin, a non-admin could determine whether the deleted content could be used as the basis of a newly recreated article with the new sources. Deletion would hinder this.
In sum, the benefits or restoring the deleted content outweigh the negligible negatives, so the article's history should be restored under the redirect.
The Top Ten Reviews article says, "The Verdict: 6.15/10. VideoPad is great for beginners, but it doesn't offer as many tools as other products we reviewed." Although the page has a download link, the 6.15/10 rating indicates that the reviewer is not just trying to sell VideoPad. Furthermore, http://www.toptenreviews.com/methodology.html says:
I think it is a mistake to discount Top Ten Reviews as a reliable source.TopTenREVIEWS is not a pay-for-placement publication. Our editorial staff independently researches the review topic to determine which products are included.

The articles from Softonic.com, Top Ten Reviews, and the Redding Record Searchlight are reliable sources that provide detailed coverage of the subject.
“ | And the Winner is... VideoPad is easily the best free video editor available. It stands up against Premiere and Final Cut while still being fairly approachable for amatuers. It's not the prettiest or the most feature-packed, but it'll do almost everything a hobbyist videopgraher would need it to. | ” |
