About the best that can be said of this is that it is a longer article than that which was deleted after the previous AfD discussion. But this still more of an essay than an article and provides absolutely no evidence of notability. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Question to RHaworth How many evidence of notability should be provided? I have put 6 different sources that discussing different aspects of Structured search. Text search technologies web site have a whole section about structured search. Would it be enough evidence?

Redirect to XML retrieval. Structured search is more commonly called structured retrieval -- see, for instance, the Stanford IR book. The most common kind of structured retrieval these days is XML retrieval and the most common query language for XML retrieval is XQuery. So there is a real topic lurking in here. But this essay-ish article is a WP:COATRACK that seems to promote Mikhail Gilula and his patents rather than describe various approaches to structured retrieval. The best course of action may be to redirect this to XML retrieval until a better article can be written. --Mark viking (talk) 06:02, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete—The resurrected article once again exists to promote a patent; it needs to go. Mark's suggestion is intriguing. I have no objection to a redirect, but I'd like to see a few more cites before I support that option. Lesser Cartographies (talk) 07:43, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. I believe the topic may be notable, but would substantially benefit from having someone independent write it.--Laun chba ller 08:52, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per RHaworth rationale. Although I strongly agree with “Launchballer” per the subject notability but I think its necessary to blow it up and start over Wikicology (talk) 09:42, 26 October 2014 (UTC) Note: An editor has expressed a concern that username (talk • contribs) has been canvassed to this discussion. - RHaworth Wikicology admin.[reply]

Do not delete: the article is interesting and the subject is more notable than of many other articles - just look at the number of sources. It has nothing to do with XML. If you delete this article - you have to delete many other ones... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bourbon7 (talk • contribs) 01:09, 28 October 2014‎) This template must be substituted.
Leave it - Learned a thing or two. Don't see any reason to delete...Pages like this make WIKI better not worse --SearchPro1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by SearchPro1 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 28 October 2014 (UTC) This template must be substituted.[reply]
Do not delete: Structured Search has nothing to do with XML (of course XML format could be used by concrete implementation but not the only one).Kandreyev (talk) 03:20, 28 October 2014 (UTC)kandreyev This template must be substituted.[reply]
To Mark viking: Structured Search focused on search - results could be structured or unstructured. "Structured retrieval" focused on retrieval (means transmission) of search results. Different implementations of Structured Search could use different formats to transmit search results. You could not mix this two terms. Please read Structured Search article :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by kandreyev (talk • contribs) 04:06, 28 October 2014 This template must be substituted.
Do not delete Certainly notable. Improvement required.
