It exists, but doesn't have the significance or coverage to meet WP:N. Has been in CAT:NN for over 11 years; hopefully, we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 21:24, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. Passes GNG. The article should probably be moved to HIEW, as it looks like quality sources capitalize all the letters. I did find some RS in google books; all of which describe it as an essential and foundational tool for hacking which would seem to indicate some notability.

• Keep. In dealing with a 11 year old questioned article, the first step is not to nominate for AfD, but to try using BEFORE. DGG ( talk ) 01:13, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - beyond the subject passing WP:GNG, this nomination was launched less than 120 seconds after an unrelated edit by the nominator. In the intervening one minute, the nominator tagged it for notability. There's no conceivable way WP:BEFORE was conducted. St★lwart¹¹¹ 03:49, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Hiew is an iconic piece of software which at least a generation grew up on and learned low-level programming. Andrej Shadura (talk) 21:18, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
