Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Functional Decomposition Methodology

A testing process almost certainly described by its creator. Is it notable? Sgroupace (talk) 23:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article was a contested prod. Here was my justification for seconding the prod: "Personal essay, not verifiable; Google search on article title did not turn up this author, searching on the author and this subject matter only turned up this page."

Stub. The present article must go: it is original research and advertisement, input by Srikkanthqa (talk · contribs) to describe something "originally designed by Srikkanth Danthala, a QA Test Specialist from SCL Technology Solutions". The only source cited is the web-site of his employer which doesn't, as far as I can see, say anything about this. However a Google search suggests that the term is in widespread enough use to justify a (non-proprietary) article - see, e.g., the quote "The functional decomposition methodology dominated the software development scene in the 1970s and 1980s" from a 1996 paper. I suggest that someone better qualified than me should replace the article with a stub on the lines of "The functional decomposition methodology was a software testing methodology widely used in the 1970s and 1980s", and see what develops from there.
