undefined notability - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 21:30, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - I tagged this, and nobody's working on it. There's not much to the article aside from a list of features. It's impossible to tell if this has been widely adopted or what good it's for. —Torc. (Talk.) 22:14, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Merge per discussion below. —Torc. (Talk.) 02:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. It's a crappy article, but it is a real product from a real company (my company uses it). WP:NOTE says, A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.. These: [1] [2] fit that description so I'd say this (just barely) meets notability (depending on your definition of significant). Slap some random fix me type templates on it and let it live. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Comment - Well, it has been notability tagged for over a month with no movement on it at all. The sources you mention aren't really "published" sources. Something like an O'Reilly guide might do it. Maybe this is worth a merge to the (rather anemic and potentially AfD-able) Sparx Systems instead. —Torc. (Talk.) 22:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
    • I'd certainly go along with the merge. Sparx is pretty much a one-product company. There's no justification for two articles. -- RoySmith (talk) 02:01, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge Sparx Enterprise Architect and Sparx Systems stubs: not enough content in either to justify separate articles. — Athaenara ✉ 00:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge the Sparx Systems stub INTO this article. Gartner included EA in a recent "magic quadrant" report [3]. It is also mentioned in the editorial review for a classic textbook on OO analysis and development (Booch et al).
