 * Merge and redirect to a new section CodePlex. I have cleaned up the page and expanded it a little. However, I cannot find the reliable sources needed for it to be kept as a standalone article. The CodePlex article would greatly benefit from a summary list of projects and I am suggesting that a new section be started with a brief mention of this software.

 * I have gone ahead and boldly carried out the merge. Smile a While (talk) 20:23, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * The software has been published via CodePlex and SourceForge in years. so thinking it as CodePlex is a little bias. I am thinking that if the software is notable to mark it as a wikipedia article. The wikipedia is a really great website. and is adding a article like it helping the website or messing up the website? I think you are professional than me, it is acceptable that any decision from you. Following is my reason of keeping it as an article. Designing a database is a critical task in developing, and the software provides an easy, low workload way for database designers. The software supports SQL Server, Oracle and MySQL, and there is a plan to support PostgreSQL. BTW: I found there are lots of articles are in same situation like it, is there a way to mark an article as hidden, proposal, or something like it.Steven.n.yang (talk) 02:28, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for these interesting and helpful points. At present the home page for Database Modeling Excel is within CodePlex so that points to CodePlex as being the right home for a summary. My view is that a reference to this software should be maintained somewhere but if you don't feel that the present location is appropriate then please suggest an alternative. Unfortunately, there is little chance of a standalone page surviving since that would require reliable independent sources to meet Wikipedia policy and these haven't been produced. Also, I haven't been able to find sufficient independent sources to make me confident that the software meets WP:N. HTH. Smile a While (talk) 03:19, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete: non-notable software. --Hamitr (talk) 01:02, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of notability, although Merge and redirect to a new section CodePlex, as suggested above would not be too bad a choice. Tim Ross   (talk)  15:56, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
