Delete nothing to indicate that this product is notable, fails WP:GNG Carlossuarez46 (talk) 19:08, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, non-notable software and obvious advertising: ....increase the profitability of delivering applications on the Symbian platform. Symbian Horizon will provide a service that allows developers to write an application once, and publish in dozens of stores worldwide. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 19:50, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Wouldn't take it so far as to speedy it, but definitely fails WP:N. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:46, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Don't delete. Looking at the Wikipedia criteria for significance, the vast quantity of secondary sources (including CNET, The Register, Bloomberg) who referred to this software (See http://news.google.com/archivesearch?pz=1&cf=all&ned=uk&hl=en&q=symbian+horizon&cf=all&sugg=d&sa=N&lnav=d0&as_ldate=2009&as_hdate=2009&ldrange=2000%2C2007) would indicate to me that the criteria are met. Plus the software was launched in a joint keynote presentation with Jimmy Wales, and is supported by China Mobile, Sony Ericsson, and others freddiegjertsen(talk).
- Keep or Merge to Symbian. Do remember to look for sources before nominating or !voting.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. So there's definitely significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, thus it meets the WP:GNG. I think a merge is best as it is integral to Symbian and both articles are short.
