Recreation of previously deleted content after full discussion, see Articles for deletion/InQuira. Another non-notable provider of enterprise knowledge management solutions. Article is written entirely in non-neutral sales patter:

and the rest of the text is about the integrated capabilities of the company's core product offering. Most Google News hits are OCR mistakes on "inquire", and the ones about this business are press releases. (Hint: if it says a provider of enterprise knowledge solutions for Web self service, contact center support and sales enablement, it's not an independent source.) Recommend protection against re-creation. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:06, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

 * delete blatant self-promo.  even the references which are nominally independent of the company are to short pieces which read like press releases. Alf.laylah.wa.laylah (talk) 17:46, 28 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete - When I search the company on Yahoo, I found two articles but they're small mentions: here and repeat on Reuters. I found the same amount of of links on Google, the article can come back if more is reported on them. SwisterTwister   talk  01:11, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep: The company was just acquired by Oracle and is all over the press. (for example) Toddst1 (talk) 19:18, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   07:41, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

 Comment: Relisted to discuss whether its recent acquisition changes matters.  Sandstein  07:43, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:PROMOTION. Virtually everything sourced was released by the company to hungry e-business media and intended to promote the company. Very press-releasy. Everything qualifies as WP:ROUTINE business coverage. Page creator with 37 edits has built an almost identical structure, Nimsoft. Breaking news holds no special weight in an encyclopedic context, per NOTNEWS. If Wikipedia is not an newspaper, it's also not the day's business section. No prejudice against recreation if current e-media coverage creates a resonance in sources not found this morning. BusterD (talk) 13:10, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Per BusterD and SwisterTwister. --Noleander (talk) 18:37, 5 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there anything here that can be merged into Oracle? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:28, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
