 * Delete Quite simply, there are no third party references. That's sufficient reason for deletion. If someone thinks there are, let them find and add them. Considering the manner in which the article is written I think it very unlikely, for it sounds exactly like the producer wrote it: "Service Stubbing with Rational Service Tester for SOA Quality enables the testing of your SOA application prior to the creation of all services" -- and every paragraph beginnign with the full name of the product. That''s not exactly advertising, but a product manual.  DGG ( talk ) 06:22, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * , Can we redirect to Rational Software as an WP:ATD?
 * You cannot keep a redirect if there is no referenced content on the page you want to redirect to. --Jcarlosmartins (talk) 19:33, 25 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete softcore ad for software. 122.60.173.107 (talk) 07:00, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge to Rational Software, the company it's a product of. Does not seem to me like it warrants its own article, but could find a happy home as a subsection of another. jp×g 16:27, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I have added two external link to a couple of research papers about testing in a SOA environment. The vast majority of other available references are from software companies that use this software as part of their product offerings. However, those research paper links appear to get us some way to RS.--Concertmusic (talk) 16:03, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Added a third reference to an academic journal.--Concertmusic (talk) 16:32, 24 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You are adding external links instead of references to the article text. Please, add actual references to be able to keep this article. --Jcarlosmartins (talk) 19:30, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
