Don't believe webMethods Developer should be merged

The webMethods Developer is a tool of its own, just like Internet Explorer is a separate article from Microsoft. NathanLee 13:52, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't have an article on all tools or applications. Internet Explorer is notable, widely discussed in the media and widely known. A paragraph on webMethods Developer would be useful in the webMethods article, but I don't think it justifies a separate article. If Developer is a widely-reviewed tool, those references should be added.

Also, NathanLee, if you are associated with webMethods, it's a good idea to mention this fact here on the talk page so that your bias, if any, is understood. Please see WP:COI. Hope this is helpful. --SueHay 22:24, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not associated with webMethods. I used to work with the technology and product in the past and used to do training courses on it. I am not, nor have ever been an employee of webMethods. I'd think that if a topic can be written about to sufficient detail then it warrants an article. I don't know that all articles in wikipedia need be the same granularity as those of a book based encyclopaedia. I'd say that's the advantage of wikipedia in that it CAN have an article on all tools/programs/things in the universe if someone has the inclination to do the research and put it in..
