[edit] PowerSchool

PowerSchool – (View log) Spammy article with no independent references. The fact that it's a Pearson company makes it significant in the market, but whether that makes it notable is another matter. I think this is a "source it or lose it" job. Guy (Help!) 21:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delte for lack of assertion of notability. Someguy1221 21:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached

• Delete reads as advertisement; probable spam, agree subject is notable but reads as advert and has no sources - needs work to avoid deletion Bigdaddy1981 00:50, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Doesn't seem particularly spammy; the proverbial Google search turns up 1,040,000 results; Google PageRank is 7/10. -- BlastOButter42 ^See Hear _Speak 01:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I m not sure ghits is the least relevant for a product used by many school systems,unless intended to show merely that the product is widely used. DGG 01:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, news articles found mainly on "district chooses PowerSchool" or "district sends teachers to PowerSchool workshop" type. Others mainly press releases. --Dhartung | Talk 03:23, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep or Merge with Pearson Education. PowerSchool was world's first web-based school information system and is very notable. Jyothisingh 10:19, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge, non-notable software from a notable company, but information would improve article on parent company, imho. Lankiveil 10:32, 13 May 2007 (UTC).
• Merge per Lankiveil - MrZaius^talk 11:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Merge with the parent company article as the software doesnt seem notable yet. Corpx 13:47, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Comment Yay! Our worst dystopian nightmares are coming true! --Infrangible 01:36, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

*Comment If merging, which article do we merge with? There's a half dozen pearson articles, but none explicitly for Pearson School Companies, mentioned in the article. MrZaius^talk 09:34, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

n/m. Can source Lankiveil's suggestion, but not the other. Merge completed - Surely there's consensus at this point to redirect. MrZaius^talk 10:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
