 * Delete - Reads like a cross between an essay and a garbled sales pitch, and neither seem particularly notable Richard Hock (talk) 12:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, complete bollocks: For the off-line knowledge, there are two representation approaches. One is to highly abstract and categorize existing knowledge including experiences into a series of design principles, rationales and constraints. TRIZ is a good instance of this approach. The other is to represent a collection of design knowledge into a certain case for description. Case-based design is an example of this approach. The key issue is on the computerization of the design knowledge representation.  MEGO. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep or redirect. No-one has made a case that design knowledge does not exist: this material has been taught to engineering undergrads for decades.  This article is not well written (though not bad for a newbie) but if there is nothing worth saving, could we redirect it to Design methods (that has its own problems) or Design?  --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 08:18, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 *  Weak keep or redirect. This topic does exist and seems notable enough for Wikipedia. It should be kept if it can be written better.  Otherwise, it should be redirected as Hrothulf mentioned above. TheDude2006 (talk) 01:00, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
