[edit] TopLink

software prograom, sub-stub. no indication of notability. Delete unless expanded to show signifigance. DES ^(talk) 02:46, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, 10 year old product by huge company. Gazpacho 03:01, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless expanded from a stub to a real article during vfd period. Dlyons493 07:11, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Oracle. (and leave as red-link) No content to speak of, which is not to say that it would be impossible for a good article on the subject to be written, but this is sub-stub. --Mysidia (talk) 07:21, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • For a merge to be completed, you need to redirect. This way the edit history is retained per GFDL. See Guide to Votes for deletion link on top of main VFD page. Merge and delete is not a valid vote, so there's no good way to get a red-link. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:36, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
• I'm all about the obscure software packages, but there is no assertion of notability here. Speedy delete. Nandesuka 12:42, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep factual and verifiable. Trollderella 22:03, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notability, well apart from the blindingly obvious, Java Developer's Journal's readers voted it "Best Java Persistence Architecture" in 2003, it also won the Editor's Choice JavaWorld 2003 Award for Best Java Data Access Tool, and the 2003 Java Pro Readers Choice Award for Best Java Data Access Tool or Driver. Northrop Grumman used TopLink on a project to integrate some US DoD databases. I could go on but it's utterly ridiculous to be discussing deletion of an article on this product. In database terms it would be like not having an article on the Beatles' White Album. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 08:14, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, that is the same way I feel about the topic, but I didn't have information about the significance about it like you did. I added those awards into the article, but if you know more about TopLink then I think it would be great if you could edit in more information on why it's considered to be the #1 object-relational mapping tool. --BSTRhino 03:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Oracle. Radiant_>|< 09:13, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
