[edit] Synergy/DE

plus Synergy/de, Synergy/DBL and SYNERGEX. (<-line added by RHaworth)

Ad for nn software. Note that the original author keeps removing the {{advertisement}} tag; he'll probably do the same with the AfD notice. This was also previously tagged as a copyvio, but an anonymous editor claiming to represent the company declared (on the talk page) that the company authorised this use. Whether a copyvio or not, this ad doesn't belong on WP. Delete. Owen× ☎ 23:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as per nomination --NeilN 23:57, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Large number of edits of dubious value from author's IP, and elsewhere again states that the company is the source of these edits. --Interiot 00:00, 29 September 2005 (UTC) (later) It's generally against the spam guildlines to post information about your own company or product.
• Delete as ad. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 01:19, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: This has been an interesting article to deal with. When I first saw the article, it was an obvious sales pitch copied from the Synergy website. I copyvio'ed it but a week later the anonymous user who wrote the article insisted that she was a representative of the company and asked to have the copyvio removed on the condition that the article will be written in NPOV. So I gave them a week or two and when nothing got done, I put up an advertisement warning to remind them that this article still needs work. Obviously, they still haven't done anything so I say it's time to ax it. Besides, who wants to read an article about a company written by the company's marketing rep anyway?

• Keep: I'm the "anonymous user" referenced before. I apologize for not following protocol -I am just learning how to use this site. I have since created a log in. Solarusdude, I actually did completely revise the article after the comments that it was too marketing-oriented. In fact, I had an independent user of the language write an unbiased description of it. (Perhaps this is the "Large number of edits of dubious value from author's IP" described by Interiot.) This is not intended as an advertisement. I am simply trying to create an accurate description of the product for people who look it up, and because it is linked to from another article. If it still appears too "markety," I would be happy to revise it. sde 15:55, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep:It seems a simple description of the product - a tool for the development community that has been in place for 20 years. It's an appropriate entry and pales by comparison to the numerous entries one finds under Microsoft Visual Studio and other related tools.--JDukr 16:11, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
