BangDB

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a promotional article. The subject, people or organizations related to it have come up as Draft:Sachin_Sinha (its designer) at Articles for deletion/Iqlect (IQlect is the company that markets BangDB), and was previously deleted at Articles for deletion/Bangdb. The first version of this incarnation (from 20 August 2020‎ ) bears striking resemblance to the deleted Draft:BangDB (deleted on 16 August 2020 per G7, at the request of its author). Weirdly, that first copy left broken links to the company's website. Whatever is going on here doesn't change the fact that the article fails to meet our notability criteria for products and services, WP:PRODUCT, and WP:NOTADVERTISING.

 * Delete, does not have significant independent coverage. Mentioned in list of nosql databases in an Indian textbook, and then the author has mentioned it in some semi-promotional interviews . Being aware that influential software products often don't get coverage in WP:RS, I checked programming forums but could not find discussions about BangDB. – Thjarkur (talk) 21:34, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This is a database like NoSQL, dBase, and others. They don't usually have coverage in WP:RS like every other secular topic but do have encyclopedic value and merit for knowledge sake. MissiYasında&#38;&#38; (talk) 19:47, 23 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep I don't agree that BangDB and other databases  don't  have significant coverage  in the media.  From my little  cursory research, I believe that BangDB  meets the notability demands  of  WP:NSOFT and WP:SIGCOV. I searched BangDB  in Google Books as recommended in WP:SOFT,  I found some notable Google Books Results. I  discovered that  BangDB  is featured  on   the following books:

1. Pattern and Data Analysis in Healthcare Settings - Page 166

2. [https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=lAbYCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA137&dq=BangDB&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi63NDKxbTrAhV8Q0EAHcDSBIYQ6AEwAXoECAUQAg#v=onepage&q=BangDB&f=false Advances in Civil, Architectural, Structural and ... - Page 137]

3. Encyclopedia of Business Analytics and Optimization - Page 789

4. [https://books.google.com.ng/books?id=kvIoDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA329&dq=BangDB&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi63NDKxbTrAhV8Q0EAHcDSBIYQ6AEwA3oECAYQAg Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth. PAGE 329]

Secondly, I searched the BangDB in Google Scholar as recommended in WP:SOFT, I found some notable Google Scholar Results. It is featured on the following scholarly discourses:

1. Web Search and Browser Log analysis using BangDB for Decision Support

2. OPC UA

and a few others written in non-English languages

Thirdly, I searched  BangDB  in Google News as recommended in WP:SOFT,  I found some Google News Results. It is featured on some news-related sources such as:

1. TRENDING: KEY VALUE DATABASE MARKET OVERVIEW WITH DETAILED ANALYSIS, COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE, FORECAST TO 2026|, THE APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION

2. Global Key Value Database Market Analysis by Emerging Growth Factors and Revenue Forecast to 2026

3. KEY VALUE DATABASE MARKET GROWTH SET TO SURGE SIGNIFICANTLY DURING 2020 – 2025 | THE APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, MEMCACHED, REDIS LABS, COUCHBASE

4. GLOBAL KEY VALUE DATABASE MARKET 2020-2025 KEY INSIGHTS, BUSINESS OVERVIEW, INDUSTRY TRENDS,(COVID-19 OUTBREAK) CHALLENGES BY TOP PLAYERS- THE APACHE SOFTWARE FOUNDATION, MICROSOFT, COUCHBASE

5. Key Value Database Market Challenges and Growth Factor By 2026| The Apache Software Foundation, Redis Labs, Aerospike

and a few others

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * By the above, I strongly believe that BangDB   as a database passes WP:NSOFT, WP:SIGCOV and WP:GNG and hence should be kept.   Looking at the page, I guess the content is factual.  If there are seemingly promotional words or tones, they should be removed and let the article be on wiki for educational purposes.  My submssion anyway.Mariah200 (talk) 20:10, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
 * , I don't know how you interpret SIGCOV, but Encyclopedia of Information Science and Technology, Fourth Edition lists BangDB in the list of key-value database and offers ONLY this: Category: Key-Value Databases Databases: DynamoDB, Riak, Redis, Aerospike, Azure Table Storage, FoundationDB, LevelDB, GenieDB, BangDB, Chordless, Scalaris, Tokyo, Cabinet / Tyrant, Scalien, Voldemort, Dynomite, KAI, MemcacheDB, Chordless, HamsterDB, Tarantool/Box, Maxtable, Pincaster, RaptorDB, Mnesia, LightCloud, Hibari, OpenLDAP, LSM, STSdb. My added links show that we actually have quite a number of articles on key-value databases, and there are more in Key–value database (which could use some more references BTW). But I'm quite sure that such a listing is pretty much exactly what WP:SIGCOV calls "a trivial mention". The other sources are not much better. To other editors commenting here: please read the cited refs before letting yourself get convinced that that there is SIGCOV when there isn't. Vexations (talk) 22:24, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah that is a link-dump of insignificant mentions, of which five are the same insignificant mention in "Global Key Value Database Market report" and one is about decibels of bangs (or db-bang), and not this database. – Thjarkur (talk) 18:39, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep and wikify per above. There are enough reliable sources to establish WP:GNG and WP:SOFTWARE. If it is decided to keep it, the article need a complete revamp to remove the promotional tone and unnecessary information. GiuliaZB (talk) 12:03, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Having gone through the sources posted above and those in the article, there's no significant coverage. There is a bit of coverage on the company (which itself was deleted) and only trivial mentions of BangDB itself (some of which, per Thjarkur above, don't actually refer to the topic at hand). Doesn't meet the GNG. -M.Nelson (talk) 11:30, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, the imposing pile of sources listed above simply do not seem to actually discuss the topic in any depth. Yes, BangDB is mentioned in several books and several websites (some of dubious reliability, regurgitating press releases). No, it does not appear to actually be discussed "as significant in its particular field" as required by WP:NSOFT, nor is there "significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources" as required by WP:GNG. ~ mazca  talk 18:57, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
