I can't find significant independent coverage for this software. The fact that's Acid3 100% is probably due to the fact that's just a thin GUI for WebKit. Pcap ping 22:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)[]

Keep It is probably not very notable yet, but it is in very active devellopment. In a year or so (when it will reach version 1.0, stable) it will definitely deserve a page in Wikipedia. So the question is rather to remove it knowing it will come back in a few month when it matures enough or keep it. Also I think this browser matters for the role it is playing in the KDE desktop environment : KDE default web browser (Konqueror) is not working very well with modern web technology, and a majority of KDE users use Firefox instead. Rekonq is a (young but quite succesfull yet) attempt to built the modern standalone webbrowser that is needed by KDE. Bzhb (talk) 17:15, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[]
- WP:CRYSTAL. There have been dozens of browsers based on someone else's engine that failed to achieve any market share, or notability. Pcap ping 17:21, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[]
  - My point is just that rekonq is starting to be the considered seriously for default browser for KDE ( it is already the default browser in a small early-adopter linux distribution called Chakra, and bigger one like openSuse (KDE version) are considering it for the next release).

  - Merge/redirect to WebKit? And when it matures, separate it back. I am with Bzhb on it. Honeyman (talk) 18:11, 13 February 2010 (UTC)[]

Delete. Does not appear to have any sources establishing notability. —Psychonaut (talk) 14:00, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[]

Keep It works with much more web pages than KDE main browser, Konqueror. Now it has many new features like support for Adblock, KIO, KWallet, Kget, MultiThreaded tabs, etc.[1][2] It is the only full KDE integraded browser that supports webkit (the KDEs KHTML fork), with features from Chromium like the new tab page[3] or the MultiThreaded tabs. Try using an AJAX web page with Konqueror and rekonq, the difference is big. --KDesk (talk) 04:18, 12 February 2010 (UTC)[]
