[edit] Micro ISV

Appears to be a random neologism with little currency. Stifle 19:23, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. Unsure. It is a neologism/protologism, but seems somewhat known. Article may be promotional, since a book about Micro ISVs is to be released "this week" [1]. On the other hand, a book about Micro ISVs gives the term some credence. Book will be sold by Amazon [2]. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-01-05 22:26Z
• Weak Keep, Rewrite, Clean-up and Expand Seems quite a notable neologism, it needs to be rewritten to be more NPOV ComputerJoe 22:28, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
• As the author of the stub and a micro-isv I agree that the term is a neologism, but with wide usage with small ISVs. The article surely has to be extended. Other sources [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] (I have nothing to do with the book) StephanSchmidt 09:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

• Keep per above. -- JJay 02:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Being in MSDN has to mean something, but 321 Google hits would imply this isn't really a widely-used term. Johnleemk | Talk 11:34, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
  • The MSDN article is pretty bare we could always just merge there or something I suppose.... WhiteNight ^{T | @ | C} 14:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per ComputerJoe. Mushin^talk 17:27, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Absolutely does not meet the definition of a Wikipedia neologism. Turnstep 18:42, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
