Is it intended for Wikipedia to have entries for commercial enterprises? If so, fine. But I'm wondering where the borderline is between promotion and encyclopedic information.

I agree but microsoft is here also.

Microsoft is notable and will have historical impact. This is just some random dip-shit company. I'm going to put this page up for deletion. goofyheadedpunk 17:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I reverted the article back to the revision of 10 August 2006 by Dkuntze (talk · contribs) because the material added by 12.40.184.2 (talk · contribs) was copied directly from the company's annual report[1] which I presume is a copyright violation. In addition, these appear to be self-promoting edits because the address 12.40.184.2 resolves to Stellant itself. JonHarder 15:19, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Stellent was purchased by Oracle on November 2nd, 2006. Assuming the sale is approved by the SEC, this page can probably be deleted in a month or two.--Bex 18:50, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger proposal

Given that this company is now part of Oracle, I think it would be a good idea to merge it. There's very little content in the article so the merge should be pretty straightforward. This could then provide some history rather than standing alone. JamminBen 09:27, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I would support the merge, given the content of this article.--Michig (talk) 08:09, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
I support a merge/delete too. Can anyone help with how to do this? Is it a case of adding relevant info to the Oracle page and then renominating this article for deletion? Thank you. Bardcom (talk) 14:12, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Best way would be to merge content into the Oracle article, then change this to a redirect to that article. There's no need to delete this article - anyone coming here would be redirected to the article where the content has been moved to.--Michig (talk) 14:39, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Michig, I'm about to AfD this article for a number of reasons, but the main one being that there's no citations or references as to it's notability. Because the company no longer exists, talking about Stellant makes no sense, as it's now owned by Oracle, and it's unlikely that any (new) notability references are going to come along.
