The result was   redirect to document-oriented database. This seems to have most support here. (non-admin closure) Timotheus Canens (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

JSON database

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Unable to verify notability in any reliable sources. Poor quality article too. -- samj in out 10:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge to JSON would seem to be the best thing to do with this. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep . Given that CouchDB, which is one such database has an entire book about it, and that other systems of this kind exist and are listed in this article, an overview article for this type of database seems warranted. Pcap ping  17:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment: So put it in the CouchDB article then. -- samj in out 04:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not feasible because there's more than one notable db of this kind, e.g. MongoDB. Pcap ping  00:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Redirect to document-oriented database. Unable to locate significant reliable source coverage about "JSON databases" beyond 1 passing mention. Redirect since JSON DBs would be a proper subset of document-oriented databases. --Cyber cobra (talk) 19:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Redirect to document-oriented database. Indeed the terminology doesn't appear widely used, even in comparisons of the notable DBs of this kind, . These are more often referred as document-oriented database or NoSQL depending on context. The lead is thusly a bit WP:OR, and the implementation list partially present in the parent article.

 * Comment indeed redirect sounds like a sensible solution. -- samj in out 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Keep BSD-licensed Free software. Samboy (talk) 22:43, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
 * What bearing does licensing have on this exactly? Not to mention we're talking about a class of software and not a particular piece of software, thus there is no license to consider. --Cyber cobra (talk) 22:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Notable technical topic with multiple implementations, and several strong citations in the text. These scattershod software deletion noms are getting crazy random!  LotLE × talk  21:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Huh? The sources are all primary sources and only 1 mentions the term "JSON database". --Cyber</b> cobra (talk) 22:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect either JSON or document-oriented database seem to be appropriate. The above two keep votes seem particularly POINTy. Miami33139 (talk) 22:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
