Pivotal eRelationship
Looks like an adverisement of a not-notable software product to me. I have deleted it as G11 but the speedy is contested abakharev 23:22, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I went to WP:SOFTWARE to figure this one out, but since that is still only a proposal I don't feel comfortable using it.  And I don't know enough about software to be able to say whether or not it's notable.  The article is poor with no sources - or even any links - but that doesn't mean the article can't be improved.  It seems to have won a Users Choice Award in 1999 and the Microsoft Industry Solution Award in 2000.  Is that a notable accomplshment? And would adding those and other sources make the article less like advertising? - Lex 01:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

 * Author response, Let me clarify a couple things. I don't work for the Pivotal Corporation.  I work for a company that uses Pivotal's products.  I wrote the article with more interest in the product's problems than in its virtues, so I doubt deleting it as an advertisement would help anyone much.  I'm not sure I can help you decide about "notability," but from reading CDC's annual reports, I believe more than $100M per year are spent on licenses for this product.  If you want me to put in links, I can do so. User:Mage0 talk
 * Comment: To confirm sufficient notability, we need non-trivial coverage of the product by "credible, third-party sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." If you can provide such references, please put them in the article and let us know here. Thanks, Satori Son 18:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
