Caching SAN Adapter

Delete as WP:OR. Yes caching is important in storage area networks; but only one of the supplied 10 references appears to use the term Caching SAN Adapter" in body text. All of the uses of the term I'm seeing in google appear to be marketting / branding for a single product (or line of products). Stuartyeates (talk) 07:47, 15 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article should be kept. A Caching SAN Adapter is a new category in the storage area network ecosystem taking a hybrid approach combining caching and host bus adapter technology. Just as the term Storage Area Network was not in vogue initially, technology writers have not reached consensus on which term to utilize for this unique category. Alternative terms have been used including "shared caching adapter", "shared server cache", and "shared transparent cache". If nothing more this article serves to drive industry consensus to standardize on a single term. User:Cyclewolf 10:45, 15 April 2014

WP:NEO contains our in depth policy on neologisms, and what you describe is pretty much directly in opposition to it. Stuartyeates (talk) 06:56, 16 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete per WP:TNT: the article is more of an essay rather than an encyclopedic overview of a technology and would need to fundamentally rewritten to get rid of all the OR. QVVERTYVS (hm?) 14:04, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
