No evidence of notability for this product. Few Google hits, nothing that's substantial, independent, and in reliable sources. What little there is consists of instructions and documentation. —Largo Plazo (talk) 22:10, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, please note: I am SAP employee and involved with the SAPUI5 project, see my conflict of interest declaration. I think I'm still allowed to contribute facts to the notability/deletion discussion:
- There are 282,000 Google hits, which is not really "few". It's rather similar to (or higher than) for similar libraries like ExtJS (378,000), mootools (345,000) DHTMLX (283,000), Ample SDK (208,000), qooxdoo (145,000), and jQWidgets (87,700), which all have a Wikipedia page where notability is not questioned. Comparing SAPUI5 to those others in Google Trends also indicates that SAPUI5 is at least as important to public interest as those are.
- There are books written specifically about SAPUI5, like "Getting Started with SAPUI5" (also available in German translation) and "SAPUI5 - The Comprehensive Guide"
- There are references in print media like the popular German magazine iX
- There are references in online publications like computerworld.com and infoworld.com.
- There are scientific theses covering SAPUI5 like this one (Swedish; analysis whether UI5 can satisfy the expectations for user interfaces at a time where mobile devices are ubiquitous), this one (goal-oriented performance models, tested with UI5) and this one (evaluating JavaScript MVC frameworks for usage in collaborative web applications)
There are more, but as far as I have understood, these references should be sufficient to establish notability. Please excuse that I have posted the same content on the article's talk page - I am not sure where the notability discussion will be predominantly led. Akudev (talk)(COI) 13:25, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
