Non-notable software release. Only citations are to primary sources, youtube, and to passing mentions stating that this software is used by a specific university. ST47 (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I don't agree with the fact that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. It was one of the very first no-code/low-code platform (first public release: 2001, ~20 years ago); considering the importance of this market nowadays, in my opinion - even just for historical reasons - it should be on Wikipedia. Its Wikipedia page has been here and regularly updated since 2011. Apart from the historical reasons, DaDaBIK is still relevant today, more than ever, with thousands of customers all over the world and a community that has produced almost 20k messages in its forum. About its use by Universities: Universities have been used DaDaBIK a lot for several aims (internal admin tools, research purposes, teaching), sometimes it's hard to give a proof of all these uses because in the vast majority of the cases, we are talking about internal processes/tools; however, If you check Google Scholar for "dadabik", you will get lots of entries and this should suggest the fact that is notable in the academic world. I can try anyway to improve the page. Thanks. Ugeeeen (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We have been using DaDaBIK for several years and our trainees are able to develop their own applications in a few days. This is a great software and we do not agree with the deletion.

Hi. I also do not agree that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. We have been using it for several years. We are a small museum with limited budget, and it ideally suits our needs. It is easy to set up and to use. Software can only be developed if it has a user base that warrants the development work, and in order for people to find out about it, it needs publicity, and Wikipedia is an ideal way of getting that. Please reconsider the suggestion to delete this from Wikipedia.

I don't think DaDaBik is a non-notable software. I am one between thousands of users of this great software and I think the page in Wikipedia can help people know more about it after a search of Google, if they, like me, are allways going to Wikipedia in order to know more about something.

Dadabik is unique and useful. I did a survey of similar software and Dadabik is the best of the bunch.

Please, don't delete this software. It is GREAT. Keep him, please.

Don't delete it, this is software used by many. I was looking for this software for 5 years and never found it until recently.

Agreed. Dadabik is used by many people and companies, I am not sure why deletion is necessary and seems to contradict the Wiki spirit.

I don't agree that DaDaBik is non-notable. I use this software as the primary front end for online databases and find it the most useful of any software I use.

I'm a former user of DaDaBIK. I'm also against the deletion of the entry. Rather, I would like to see the entry further modified (by third parties) and expanded by pointing to other no-code/low-code CRUD platforms (possibly with a comparison page).

DaDaBik is a notable software. There are just a few CRUD solutions as complete as DaDaBik. Please do not remove it.

I do not agree with this deletion! As a supporter and donor of Wiki for many years now I feel this is entirely inappropriate. I have used this software for many years as a database front-end software to several databases in the not-for-profit sector. It’s designed for its ease of use by non-programmers and used by thousands across the World. It was so unique when it appeared 20 years ago ….and still is to this day. Its creator Dr. Eugenio Tacchini has spent many years improving and building on the application and it has a huge following. I personally believe that the reason the Wiki team have come to this conclusion is because of its perceived low-profile. Probably because it’s not sold off the shelf as a finished product, but as a software which underpins one. Its popularity, function and importance is therefore hidden from obvious view. I fully understand Wiki’s researchers for coming to this initial conclusion, and I know we have no real say in this matter…..but I respectfully request this decision is reversed so that Wiki can continue to make the World know about Dr Tacchini and his team’s incredible software and the valuable contribution they make to society as a whole. Please seriously reconsider this decision.

Disagree with the delete suggestion and the offered reason. DaDaBIk has been around a long time. It is stable and is continually developed and maintained. As noted by others, it is used by many thousands of institutions and individuals as a low-code front end to SQL-like databases. It long ago made the transition from free software to paid, which means the market finds value in it. You can find it listed in many online sources for database front ends, such as https://www.gadgetxplore.com/database-management-tools/ to take one example.Dh10~enwiki (talk) 12:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We have been using Dadabik for many years. Deleting it from Wikipedia would be a shame.

I use DaDaBIK for commercial purposes. I can confirm that it is a notable software. It should have an article on Wikipedia.

Hello all. IMHO Dadabik is a notable software and i think it's relevant to give it a page on Wikipedia ! Dadabik lives for almost 20 years and it does not have serious competitors as a database front-end software. New versions are released on regular basis and use newest technology. I use Dadabik for commercial purposes too. It's quite important for end user customers to see we use notable software as it has its own Wikipedia page ;-) 80.12.85.16 (talk) 12:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dadabik is used software and still being maintained so it should not be deleted
