 * Delete as WP:COATRACK - article exists primarily to promote Catylist product (author has been making many attempts to insert this promotional stuff, and has been deleting speedy tags all over the shop). Mayalld (talk) 20:15, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The article lists several providers of CIE software, Catylist being one of them. I've also included several references from commercial real estate publications.  This is a legitimate technology, used by about 100 real estate associations in the US.  If a section doesn't read as impartial, let me know and I'll make it more objective.  I'm sorry about the deletion of speedy tags -- I didn't catch on to the hangon tag process right away. Brockzilla (talk) 20:28, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

 * This is a legitimate term used in commercial real estate. If this is deleted, then MLS should be as well, which is absurd. Just because you haven't heard of this, or it isn't your area of expertise doesn't mean it doesn't exist. User Brockzilla apologized for deleting the speedy tags, he didn't know how they worked at the time. He wasn't accustomed to the Wikipedia practice many users share of competing to see who can be the first person to tag a new article with speedy deletion. Don't exaggerate this event, it was a mistake. I&#39;m here for the words (talk) 00:28, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep it seems a valid topic. I have dealt with the advertising problem by removing the list of providers. DGG (talk) 06:04, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
