Talk:Delphi Prism

Merging with Oxygene (programming language)
Should we merge both articles?

 * Support: Yes, I think we should, due to contextual similarity. Oxygene is exclusively developed for Delphi Prism. Oxygene website is nothing more than an advertising web site for Delphi Prism, so much that it displays a large Delphi Prism logo on its front page.

 * i'm opposed to merging, although i agree a thorough rework of the pages is needed. imho, Oxygene (programming language) should stay focused on the language (much like Object Pascal), and describe and explain the language (agreed the tone needs to be made more neutral). Delphi Prism instead is/shoud be the product description page (much like, say Embarcadero Delphi or Kylix (software)). dwarfland (talk) 12:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)


 * The merger proposal does not have anything to do with such matters as tone and encyclopedic value. We are proposing a merger because the two articles are contextually-relevant while being so short that the role-based focus which you speak of only causes two relevant pieces of information to fall apart.

 * I think, the articles should be kept seperated. Oxygene is the language and the compiler, while Delphi Prism is the whole package including a database enginge, some components for internet access, an absolutely annoying product activation ;-), etc. ... Additionally while the development of Oxygene is mainly in the hands of RemObjects, things related to Delphi Prism are much more in the hands of Embarcadero. In my opinion this emphasises the fact that we're talking about two seperate things that should be described seperately. Christian S. (talk) 15:51, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
