Orion Network Licensing Platform

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Non-notable software product. No references given, and I have been unable to find anything that would indicate notability. Haakon (talk) 21:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete There are no references provided that indicate notability. Miami33139 (talk) 17:04, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Which remains not a reason for deletion. Please read WP:DEL. Hobit (talk) 01:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm only finding PR wire coverage and the like, nothing independent of the vendor. Hobit (talk) 01:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The Dr. Dobb's Journal article provides more than trivial coverage, but far from in-depth. If someone can find one good article on the topic I'd be inclined to say this could be enough for "multiple" but it's not enough by itself in any way. Hobit (talk) 03:35, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The Dr Dobb's Journal article does not provide more than trivial coverage to this product. It provide a shorter overview of the greater area this software operates in. It provides trivial mention of this software, along with 14 others. Miami33139 (talk) 04:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * While short, I'd say the coverage is pretty detailed. As I said I'd consider it more than in-passing or trivial, but less than detailed.  It reads
 * "Orion offers automatic, secure, connected or disconnected software activation for trial, perpetual, subscription, usage-based, upgrade feature and/or weighted licensing. It enables automatic node-locking of selected features with "Fuzzy Fingerprinting," has an automated, browser-based self-service for offline activation and integrated software asset reports. Java-based server runs on all Java-capable platforms. 	The buzz: Orion provides a healthy range of flexibility and client language support, as it can be engineered for use as an Internet-based Product Activation, License Key Distribution or Floating License Server and can interact with any networking-capable languages, including C/C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic and VB.NET. Starts at $15,000"
 * Four sentences in a comparison chart is trivial coverage. Miami33139 (talk) 18:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Your opinion was pretty plain. I'm saying I disagree.  Turns out we both don't think much of the source or of the notability of the subject.  We are just disagreeing if the word "trivial" describes the source... Hobit (talk) 14:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, I can't find any coverage that would indicate widespread interest or notability for this product. Lankiveil (speak to me) 12:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep Dr. Dobb's Journal (cited in the External Sources) is a reputable journal. Users of this product include the US Navy, FICO, QLogic and Mercury Computer Systems per the site. Both indicate notability 69.181.194.187 (talk) 21:41, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Dr Dobb's Journal has list of 14 vendors and includes Orion. That is extreme trivial. $15,000 software has big names in list of users because $15,000 is big money for software. Price is not indicative of notability. Miami33139 (talk) 04:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree that charging a price is not an indication of notability. However, the fact that these reputable companies have paid this price (and presumably higher) is significant. 69.181.194.187 (talk) 18:27, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per the lack of nontrivial coverage in reliable sources. The coverage in Dr. Dobb's Journal is not enough, in my opinion, to allow Orion Network Licensing Platform to pass Notability. Cunard (talk) 00:20, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
