[edit] Pivotal eRelationship

Looks like an adverisement of a not-notable software product to me. I have deleted it as G11 but the speedy is contested abakharev 23:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. I went to WP:SOFTWARE to figure this one out, but since that is still only a proposal I don't feel comfortable using it. And I don't know enough about software to be able to say whether or not it's notable. The article is poor with no sources - or even any links - but that doesn't mean the article can't be improved. It seems to have won a Users Choice Award in 1999 and the Microsoft Industry Solution Award in 2000. Is that a notable accomplshment? And would adding those and other sources make the article less like advertising? - Lex 01:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unreferenced ad. Deizio talk 13:54, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
• Author response, Let me clarify a couple things. I don't work for the Pivotal Corporation. I work for a company that uses Pivotal's products. I wrote the article with more interest in the product's problems than in its virtues, so I doubt deleting it as an advertisement would help anyone much. I'm not sure I can help you decide about "notability," but from reading CDC's annual reports, I believe more than $100M per year are spent on licenses for this product. If you want me to put in links, I can do so. User:Mage0 talk
  • Comment: To confirm sufficient notability, we need non-trivial coverage of the product by "credible, third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." If you can provide such references, please put them in the article and let us know here. Thanks, Satori Son 18:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
