Lack of Notability and Commercial Advertising Nickmalik (talk) 21:18, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The page describes a self-titled method specific to a single software product. Method is not notable. It has not been adopted by researchers or other products. No papers have been written in the research community and no third-party (neutral) sources can be found. The software company has been able to sell the product to a number of companies. However, use of a product does not make the method notable. (It doesn't even make the product notable). The only conceivable reason for this page to exist, therefore, is to build the credibility of the software product itself. The page is therefore advertising. On the basis of lack of notability and advertising, I nominate this page for deletion. Nickmalik (talk) 21:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, unambiguous advertising: ....enables consistent, complete and detailed business process models to be created, and provides a disciplined methodology to describe a business and its underlying processes. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:29, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: file format of some software, even if named, doesn't become notable because it is used or useful. File formats can be properly reviewed and analyzed (see DOC (computing), Office Open XML or OpenDocument for examples within a single industry), and I see no evidence that this format was ever found notable enough to invest some effort in reviewing or analyzing it. — Dmitrij D.
