Edge Development Option

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unable to find any reliable sources to establish notability per WP:NSOFTWARE. Checked Google News, Google News Archive, HighBeam, Google Books and NewsBank. - MrX 22:06, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

I added some references and external links, hoping that helps. This article actually links from the GoogleEarth article taht talks about this as Google earth precursor (when developed by Autometric), and I found that to be relevant. Both Google Earth and Autometric article predate this one. -Jerappelle —Preceding undated comment added 19:38, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the references that you added are PRIMARY sources and not sufficient for establishing notability (see Notability, WP:Identifying reliable sources and Citing sources for the guidelines). All of the source are from Boeing, and are mostly press releases. Notability requires that reliable sources, independent of the subject have taken note and written about the subject. What we usually want for sources are newspapers, magazines, books or news web sites. - MrX 15:15, 11 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 As mentioned before, The Google Earth Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Earth refers to Edge Whole Earth already, which is the same software for Edge Development Option. The wikipedia page for Autometric at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autometric also refers to Edge Development Option and links to this page, the Edge Development Option page has simply filled in the information. Before, the Autometric Wikipedia page would simply refers to a blank page named Edge Development Option, with no information available, therefore this page is necessary to fill that void.
