Sean, the problem is not that the article had links to an external site, the problem is that the article is about a topic that may simply not be notable enough for inclusion. Wikipedia does not cover everything. You can look at the article WP:NSOFT for some thoughts on what it takes to make a piece of software notable enough for its own article. I can find no sign that Delete Skype History is important enough or covered enough in reliable sources to be included here. Anyway, I removed the deletion process that I had started, but only because while I was setting it up, another user had begun a higher-level deletion process. Read the first post here on your talk page - it includes a link to the deletion discussion now under way, as well s a link of a page with advice on how to make your argument that the page should be kept, if you feel it should. --Nat Gertler (talk) 18:32, 11 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
