This article reads like an essay. There are some citations, but the subjects are sufficiently disjoint that the decision to put all of these topics in one article does not seem appropriate to me. I'm fine with merging some content into different articles, but from an organizational perspective, I think the existence of this article is confusing and makes it harder for readers to find the information they need. The decision to talk about all of these topics in one article seems like a violation of WP: OR to me, because no one source discusses all of these different subjects.

Comment: I read the previous AfD before nominating this article. Sourcing is an issue here, but I'm more concerned with the fact the article covers topics that are relatively disjoint but are vaguely related to "civil engineering software".
