Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Software

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Software. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Software|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Software. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was soft delete. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion. Eddie891 Talk Work 11:26, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

An article on a start-up which was commercially active 2011-15. Two of the references are about obtaining investment, another is about ScaleArc, the firm which purchased the assets; these don't contribute to notability. Aside from 2 dead-link market reviews which presumably covered the firm's products, there is the bylined 2011 InformationWeek item, which I regard as start-up proposition coverage. I don't see the depth of coverage to demonstrate that this firm attained notability. AllyD (talk) 07:29, 30 May 2025 (UTC)

Don't see how this company passes WP:NCORP. The sources are all WP:ORGTRIV, articles about its founder but not WP:SIGCOV of the company, WP:TRADES publications, WP:PRIMARYSOURCEs, and that's also what I find in my WP:BEFORE search.

Xplor seems to have pivoted through payment services for several sectors during its independent existence, and again since its acquisition and a later further merger.

I draftified this because the original version was purely based on press releases. It was "improved" with other sources, but when the first source gives a 404 ([1]), as does the WSJ one[2], and I see a source like this one, I don't think it is worth keeping the article or the editor involved (note both the names of the writers and the ISBN):
Smith, John; Doe, Jane (2023). "Key Players in Virtual Event Platforms". The Evolution of Event Technology. Tech Press. pp. 112–115. ISBN 978-0123456789.

I’m open to improving the article with better references if that helps. A merge could work, but I’d prefer to try building it up a bit first—worth a shot before removing it entirely.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Eddie891 Talk Work 06:39, 31 May 2025 (UTC)- It is my considered opinion that it would be advantageous to acknowledge that this matter originates from a highly informative publication concerning the BBC Micro:Bit. While I understand and appreciate the rationale underpinning your recommendation, I found the referenced material to be of notable interest, which subsequently granted me access to the associated open-source code. My engagement with this information led me to identify a project for which I now feel considerable enthusiasm. I am of the firm conviction that, notwithstanding the fact that this pertains solely to a single article of moderate popularity and/or utility, it would nevertheless be prudent to retain it within our purview.

Article is about a startup that fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines (WP:NCORP). There aren't sources that discusses the subject in depth, and the sources are mostly sponsored, routine announcements of raisings etc..., and talk about the founder other than the business itself. Also note that this source, while it meets WP:SIGCOV, it might also be sponsored by the way. ToadetteEdit (7M articles) 15:39, 20 May 2025 (UTC)

- Actually, it does. That accompanied by the fact you have not been able to show how this meets NCORP is considered by closing admins as AfD is NOT a vote count. If you are able to show the sources that "fulfill" NCORP, I would be happy to review, but so far you failed to do so. --CNMall41 (talk) 15:42, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

But I tend to agree with the nominator that there's almost nothing encyclopedic that can be written about them in isolation. All of the sources about t-codes are some version of a how-to guide or another violation of WP:NOT. My suggested ATD would be a redirect to ABAP#Transactions, but open to other suggestions.

![]() | The following Wikipedia contributor has declared a personal or professional connection to the subject of this page. Relevant policies and guidelines may include conflict of interest, autobiography, and neutral point of view. |
I believe that this page does not meet the general notability criteria. The Talk:XBRLS page itself states (from 2008):
"XBRLS doesn't have much notability and jus[sic] a few links because XBRLS is a brand new, only a few months old."
XBRLS was an idea that never gained any traction, and it's inclusion as a separate page is inconsistent with other XBRL-related developments that are mentioned on the main XBRL page. For example, Inline XBRL is used for millions of company reports every year, including UK tax filings, filings for listed EU companies (under ESEF), and filings to the US SEC, Japan FSA, and South African CIPC, and yet is covered in a section on the main XBRL page.
The only relevant first-page hits for a Google search for XBRLS are the wikipedia page, and an article written by the authors of XBRLS.
XBRLS was not an official XBRL Standard, and its inclusion as a separate page is likely to cause confusion to readers. Pdwxbrl (talk) 11:41, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
