Unable to verify notability in any reliable sources. Poor quality article too. -- samj _in^out 10:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

• Merge to JSON would seem to be the best thing to do with this. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 17:27, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
• Keep. Given that CouchDB, which is one such database has an entire book about it [1], and that other systems of this kind exist and are listed in this article, an overview article for this type of database seems warranted. Pcap ping 17:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

• Comment: So put it in the CouchDB article then. -- samj _in^out 04:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
  • That's not feasible because there's more than one notable db of this kind, e.g. MongoDB. Pcap ping 00:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• Redirect to document-oriented database. Unable to locate significant reliable source coverage about "JSON databases" beyond 1 passing mention. Redirect since JSON DBs would be a proper subset of document-oriented databases. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
• Redirect to document-oriented database. Indeed the terminology doesn't appear widely used, even in comparisons of the notable DBs of this kind [2], [3]. These are more often referred as document-oriented database or NoSQL depending on context. The lead is thusly a bit WP:OR, and the implementation list partially present in the parent article.

• Comment indeed redirect sounds like a sensible solution. -- samj _in^out 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

• Keep BSD-licensed Free software. Samboy (talk) 22:43, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  • What bearing does the license have on this exactly? --Cybercobra (talk) 22:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Notable technical topic with multiple implementations, and several strong citations in the text. These scattershod software deletion noms are getting crazy random! LotLE×talk 21:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
  • Huh? The sources are all primary sources and only 1 mentions the term "JSON database". --Cybercobra (talk) 22:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
