Object-oriented software engineering

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Contrary to what the title suggests, this article is not about a generic term, but about a specific methodology (and book of the same name). However, the only sourced content is about object-oriented programming in general. A web search turned up mostly pdfs of the book and a few blogs, but I could not find good sources. Thus, it seems to me that this fails verifiability and notability.  PJvanMill ) talk ( 21:16, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete The article is written like a tutorial and is not WP:VERIFIABLE. 122.60.173.107 (talk) 21:03, 18 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete: this is a puff piece about Jacobson's approach. The article attempts to inherit notability from the broad concept of object-oriented programming which has a similar title.  It's basically coatracking off another article and has demonstrated no significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to suggest notability.  Searches for such coverage turn up very little when restricted to Jacobson's approach.  It perhaps merits a line in the aforementioned similarly titled article.

 * Comment If this is deleted, this title could be redirected to object-oriented programming as a related term. Natg 19 (talk) 02:12, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete then add a redirect to Object-oriented programming which is what the first source is about anyway, just puff for Jacobson and his book. KylieTastic (talk) 15:04, 3 December 2020 (UTC)
