The result was delete. Seriously? This is an article that serves only to promote. If anyone not linked to the firm wants to start again then they can have the deleted content but the sources are not independent and the editors of the article - and this AfD - mainly seem to be connected to the subject.

Does not appear to pass WP:CORP - while there is some sources, these are mostly passing mentions and interviews, as opposed to in depth coverage. Mdann52 (talk) 17:23, 1 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: Odoo is the new name of OpenERP (it is a redirection). currently this is one of the best open source business software on the planet with millions of users. A Google search gives more than 600k results for either Odoo or OpenERP, from thousands of sources (keep WP:NTEMP in mind). A search for books gives hundreds of books about OpenERP/Odoo. Google Trends shows the history of the project's name and popularity. More random examples: Odoo was recently selected in the top 5 project management tools for 2015 on opensource.com, in the Best Linux and Open Source Apps for the Enterprise in 2015 of linux.com, nominated for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 2014. The product also won a BOSSIE Award two years in a row, under its former name, OpenERP, in 2012 and 2013. According to WP:NNC and WP:ARTN, the above is sufficient to establish notability. --Princethezeroth (talk) 18:10, 2 June 2015 (UTC) — Princethezeroth (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep: Odoo is notable and has a significant coverage in third party sources. Odoo has references with sources like European Commission and universities. They received the EY Promising Enterprise of The Year Award Here are a few press coverage that Odoo get over the past 15 days just in Belgium (Head Quarter of Odoo): Le Soir, main news paper of belgium, VRT, Vers L'avenir, CanalZ: belgian television, RTBF, Canvas 0:50 - 5:58 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fpodoo (talk • contribs) 06:08, 8 June 2015 (UTC)  — Fpodoo (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep: This is one of the most installed ERP package in the world (more than 2000 new installations per day based on company data, installed by Odoo (Inc.) or through 570+ partners integrators & non partners. For comparison, a quick search on Google trends will show that Odoo (former name: openerp)is as popular as   Netsuite, a half a billion dollar company with 2500 employees. It is as well one of the largest & most active open source projects in Python, with more than  3 millions lines of codes across all repositories, even larger than MySQL  based on codebase size. As a note, Python is the 3rd most popular language in the world based on  Github statistics. It has been widely covered  in the press. Odoo is  taught at numerous schools and universities. Many courses can be found on independent sources such as  Coursehero. Odoo is the subject of many books sold for instance  on Amazon. Net, Odoo has more notability & independent coverage than most commercial/proprietary ERPs and more than any other Finance/Management open source project  Alexvdm01 (talk) 08:30, 8 June 2015 (UTC) — Alexvdm01 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.


 * Keep: This is a rename from OpenERP and enjoys a significant installed base. Whoever put this up for deletion doesn't know he/she is doing. I suspect a Troll. Lets mark MS for deletion next. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martijnd (talk • contribs) 13:38, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
