thread_title:  New York Times 

message: Not sure why this program doesn't meet notability requirements.  It's very well-established and simply fantastic.  I slick & reload my hard drives every 60 days or so and have used countless programs to '0' them.  This one has been, far and away, the most robust, simple, and effective utility I've come across.  I'm not trying to sound like a commercial or anything, I'm just a bit bewildered that this may not be 'notable' enough for inclusion in the wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by K10wnsta (talk • contribs) 01:46, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: DBAN is a very prominent program in the area of secure drive wiping and is the best you are ever going to get relatively cheaply (DBAN is freeware).  The next stop after this is paying several thousands of dollars per hard drive for professional services that have a 100% guarantee of data erasure.  If you are wanting to prevent evidence being recovered for a court case and/or to avoid conviction, it would be worth paying for those services.  But for everyone else, for the purpose of donating/recycling/selling hard drives or getting rid of whatever it is you need to get rid of for a non-technical end user to use it afterwards, there's only DBAN, Eraser and other programs with the same capability.  If it makes the New York Times, it's notable.—An Sealgair (talk) 06:52, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: With the only external link for DBAN being http://www.dban.org/, which now heavily promotes Blancco Drive Eraser and passive-aggressively negates the value of DBAN, is there not a good case for modifying the external link to DBAN on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/dban/)? Thoughts? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.151.158.220 (talk) 
:I have moved the external link from the article text (as per WP:EL) to the external links section. I think that will cover it. - Ahunt (talk) 14:40, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
