Question Re: DMXReady Page Deletion -- Trying to Fix A7
Hi SatyrTN,

I went back to add to the DMXReady entry, and saw that it was deleted because it did not prove importance.

I’d like to continue working on this article. DMXReady is the only commercial software company in the world (that I’m aware of) still supporting ASP-based applications. Its biggest rival, WebAssist, announced on October 13, 2008 that it would stop producing ASP (as well as ColdFusion) applications.

In an About.com article at the time of WebAssist’s announcement, Jennifer Kyrnin wondered aloud if ASP was dying. She pointed out that most people were abandoning ASP for PHP for one reason: price.

Her comments reflect the general notion floating around the programming community. That notion does not reflect the facts though.

It is important to note that “most” people is not the same as “all” people. Many businesses and even government agencies that run their own servers are using Windows-based platforms because they are so much easier for their employees to use.

Some larger companies include Mattel and Scholastic book publishers. Government agencies like the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Connecticut General Assembly , and the National Institutes of Health also use Classic ASP for part or all of their websites.

These examples don’t include the millions of websites from smaller companies and organizations, which really make up the bulk of Classic ASP users today.

And, also contrary to some programmers’ claims, there are also many resources available on the web for Classic ASP – here is just a short list:.

It has become fashionable as of late to “bash” Classic ASP, but this is coming mostly from programmers. Certainly, there are a lot of reasons why programmers prefer PHP. But really it comes down to what the end-users – the web owners themselves – prefer. And many of them prefer Classic ASP because of its ease of use and because it runs on Windows.

The truth is that Classic ASP is still alive and being used around the world. And right now, the only commercial support for the technology comes from one source: DMXReady. I believe that this represents importance.

Of course I’d like to get your opinion on this. If I centre the article around DMXReady as a commercial supporter of Classic ASP, will this prove importance in your mind? How do I proceed from here?

Thanks,

 * Hi, Litany42!
 * I deleted DMXReady because another editor had placed a Speedy Delete request on the article. The reasoning was that the article did not "assert notability" - in other words, there was nothing to say why the company was important.
 * I recommend "userfying" a version of the article - which I see you have already done at User:Litany42/DMXReady. On that userpage, work to find reliable sources that satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines. I hope that helps, and Happy Editing! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 17:09, 28 February 2010 (UTC)
