  1. BusinessQuery for Excel This is just a product, why should it be included? Sounds like spam to me. Nczempin 20:32, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not generalise the use of the word "spam" too much - if you know how this list was created, the entries are clearly not spam. And of course we include many many entries on "just products". Insignificant products need not be included. I have no idea whether this particular product is significant or not. Pcb21 Pete 08:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As far as I understand, this list was created by listing entries from other encyclopedias. This particular entry sure didn't come from the EB of 1911, and I couldn't find any encyclopedia where the entry might have come from. I'd be interested to find out where it did come from, if only to check if there are other potential problems with that source. I strongly suggest that this particular product is insignificant: It's merely a non-essential add-on to one of the most widely used proprietary products (which itself is of course very significant). I'd be interested in hearing contrary opinions why this product would be significant. Note also that I didn't say "it is spam", only "it sounds like spam to me". Nczempin 08:54, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comes from PC Mag's Encyclopedia of Computing Terms. I agree with non-inclusion in this case, and with lots of other entries from the EoCT. However I do have a real dislike of comments that appear to suggest the editor wants things excluded in general merely because they are commercial (talk about encouraging systematic POV!). Apologies if I misunderstood your first comment Pcb21 Pete 12:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to be more careful in the future, because I am far from anti-commercial. I will be especially careful regarding the use of the word spam; in this particular case, I should have said "IMHO this is a non-significant commercial product". Thanks for the clarification.

Oracle products - SFNI[edit]

Submit the whole section to SFNI. These are basically a catalog of Oracle products at one point in time. If we did this for everything, then we would also have to do the same for Microsoft, Lotus, IBM, Symantec, Autodesk, etc. Not reasonable, IMHO. mjuarez 06:27, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Are you arguing against including articles on these topics, or against having redirects for them? What's not reasonable about either of those? Stevage 13:10, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As individual files, I don't think they would survive the afd process. We could create a List of Oracle applications, with a stubby description of each, and have each title redirect to this list. . . but I don't think it's nessary. I wouldn't call these "missing articles". I just don't think they're that important. – Quadell (talk) (random) 13:40, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From /X[edit]

  1. XML-Data () - is redirect appropriate
  2. XML processor ()
  3. XML repository ()
  4. XML schema library ()
  5. XML schema repository ()
  6. XML Web site ()

All of the above are XML-related articles, which, although could be created just as redirects to the main XML article, they are merely components I believe would be better explained in an XML Wikibook, if one exists. If we include these as "articles", we would also have to include C parser, Python parser, ADA parser, C processor, Python processor, ADA processor, etc, for all programming languages, which is clearly not correct. Marcos Juárez 09:35, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. They'd just be nominated for deletion if we created them. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 13:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  1. X Architecture () Too broad, and after searching, nothing is known specifically as "X Architecture"
  2. X standard () Same as above.
  3. Xbridge () see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Xbridge Systems. Not relevant?
  4. Xe file () Nothing found on this topic, except for misspellings.
  5. Xfr () No relevant meaning found.

The above articles are proposed for non-inclusion due to various reasons, shown on each line. Marcos Juárez 12:15, 3 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with each of these. – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 13:53, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From /Y[edit]

  1. Yi Sang-Cha () One of those "unique to Britannica" Korean painters. It might be the same person as Yang P’aeng-son. Their biographies are somewhat similar and both feature the name "Hakp'o". Though EB references 1546, and the other guy appears to have died in 1545.... so am going to put this as a SNFI for now, unless can find some more info from non-Internet sources.
