Not notable. There are no independent sources Jcarlosmartins (talk) 15:04, 8 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable, should be deleted. There are no independent sources, and the article is more like a product description from an IBM brochure than an encyclopedia article.PopePompus (talk) 07:22, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am not familiar with this product as I was with Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, that aside all the google book hits I found are primary, and did not find significant non primary mentions of the product elsewhere.

Keep Again (as the 2 other AfDs on IBM products nominated on this date) notable to be sure in its field, and a very possible search term for WP readers - this product should have an encyclopedia article here.--Concertmusic (talk) 00:49, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Concertmusic You may or may not be correct about this. But your argument will hold more weight if you can find references that support it meeting WP:GNG, adding those references to the article and making a note here that you did so, will go a long way to supporting your position.

Delete, or redirect to an appropriate page as a second choice. The article cites no notability sources (reliable independent secondary sources with substantial coverage), and a BEFORE search revealed no such sources either. Although many Google Books results came up, all of the ones I could find are primary (published by IBM itself), which disqualifies them from being notability sources.
