Arcavias

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Contested PROD, see reasoning here. This article is about a not notable software product. Extensive online searches for independent, reliable sources which cover this topic to any depth turned up only: promotional material; fluffy press releases; self-published information; and a facebook page. There is one interlanguage link in the article (de:Arcavias) which contains one reference (in Dutch German, I assume) which appears to be nothing more than a vague description (probably also self-published). So, my search for good sources found nothing. Frankly the subject of this article does not meet the general notability guidelines; is unverifiable; has no reliable sources; and seems here only to promote; therefore, I propose deletion.

The well-known German computer publishing house Heise (printing the most read computer magazine in the German-speaking area) published a news about Arcavias. Heise is part of the main stream press and their journalists wouldn't add news about software to their website that is not worth noting. Unfortunately, the news is only in German so it wasn't referenced in the English Wikipedia --Nsendetzky (talk) 08:48, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
 * A google translation of this entire article reads

Arcavias is the new e-commerce framework that presents the Hamburg software company Metaways at CeBIT in Hall 2, D58 (121). It is both the manufacturer to build performant web shops and online catalogs. For integration into Typo3 is under construction. The programmed in PHP5 Framework is released under the GPLv3, the sources are available in a Subversion repository for download. (mid)
 * This reads like a simple press announcement. I am not arguing that Heise is not reliable. I am arguing that this does not qualify as "significant coverage in reliable sources" (per WP:GNG). WTucker (talk) 17:29, 26 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete The lack of proper sources and apparent lack of notability should remove this one. However, sources may be found.......will watch. Stormbay (talk) 23:05, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Does look like a press release and regardless is hardly comprehensive or significant. My personal opinion, as someone who works in the eCommerce industry with php frameworks, as that this is as unremarkable as the many others that are around. It seems to be very new and such projects don't typically get any widespread recognition, if ever, until they are well established as an industry standard unless of course they are released by a major player. --90.194.241.55 (talk) 11:05, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
