[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)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
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)
