[edit] MOSEK

Fails to assert notability. Contested prod. MER-C 12:52, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I think. Maybe it is used a lot in Denmark. QuiteUnusual 21:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep In fact it is not used very much in Denmark but quite a bit in other parts of the world. Anyway

is that a good argument for deletetion? I have also added a little bit of background material about MOSEK which people quite commonly ask us. Try search for cplex. This article is quite close to cplex article.--Erling D. Andersen 10:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• • Use in Denmark wasn't given as a reason for deletion. It was stated as a suggestion as to why it appears to be non notable when searching for English references to it via Google et. al. QuiteUnusual 20:15, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • If you search for MOSEK on Google MOSEK comes out as the first hit. And there many references to MOSEK. Also note MOSEK is listed on second order cone programming and linear programming.--Erling D. Andersen 10:26, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Using google scholar I can find at least 15 scientific articles by third party citing MOSEK. (note: I started the MOSEK entry in wikipedia and I work for MOSEK). --Rsandvik 10:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • If you google for MOSEK, MOSEK is the first hit... that's hardly surprising is it given that it is a proper name? However, what you need for notability is references from other sites or works of authority to MOSEK. I can't find much from the UK computing press. Can you sign yours edits, it's good form. Thanks QuiteUnusual 08:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Yes, but if you look a little down the list you will find other sites (commercial, open source and academic) that refer to MOSEK. e.g YALMIP, PLEXOS, solver.com,COIN,CirclePatterns, gplab e.t.c. Mosek was also compared to CPLEX in the the newsletter, "OR/MS Today, June 2005 issue". --Rsandvik 10:23, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, non-notable software. Article claims it is the first commercial product capable of solving a particular class of problem, but "first" notability in this case would apply to the first software to solve that problem, not the first one that's availbale commercially. —ptk✰fgs 03:00, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep When a commercial product appears, it marks a shift in how important a problem is to other people. I think that is notable. CPLEX is not the first software to solve LP and it's existence has not been challenged. --Rsandvik 18:49, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
