Service-oriented Software Engineering

No evidence that this concept is notable within the computing field. No references at all. Article was PRODded, original author promised to improve it but hasn't touched the article for more than a year. That's plenty of time to see improvement, but there's been none. Time to go now. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 04:41, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete, with possible later re-creation. Service-oriented software engineering (SOSE) does exist, but there is no information in this stub worth keeping. -- Radagast 3 (talk) 09:19, 12 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete, with possible merge or later re-creation. Agree with Radagast3; might be worth another attempt as part of the software engineering page, but there's nothing here right now. -- BenTels (talk) 12:40, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 12:57, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Software-related deletion discussions.
Redirect, weakly. The current title is a dictionary definition of a non-notable neologism. Current text says this is a software engineering methodology based on service-orientation. Now, "service-orientation" has an unreadable and vague article that, to the extent it's about anything, would appear to be about software. That article has its own set of problems, and probably qualifies for deletion in its current state, but would appear to cover anything that might be said here. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 15:00, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge GScholar shows many articles (e.g., the doctoral dissertation [1]). Anything "service-oriented" suffers from the vagueness of that term (cf. Service-oriented_architecture). However, there's "something there" there. I'll add more cites later. — HowardBGolden (talk) 17:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More University of Notre Dame has a Service-oriented Software Engineering Group that has already published four articles. There have been two international workshops on service oriented software engineering: In 2006 as part of the International Conference on Software Engineering and in 2007 as part of the The 6th joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engineering. Also, there is the Fourth IEEE International Symposium on Service-Oriented System Engineering, SOSE 2008 (I'm not sure what happened to the Third one!) Anyway, there's plenty of material. I think notability is shown. — HowardBGolden (talk) 02:51, 22 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Weak delete, with possible later creation - I agree with Radagast and BenTelz. There's nothing here worth keeping right now. MJ94 (talk) 03:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
