 * Delete. I was thinking about redirecting to SAP; but then if you typed SAP Research, even getting no exact result in search your first suggestion would be SAP. So no need for a redirect; and since the article contains not much of value besides the marketing babbling, a merge would yield nothing either. --LordPeterII (talk) 17:55, 23 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. SAP Research was quite a substantial organizational unit of SAP (400 employees, hundreds of millions of public funds raised AFAIK) but as its own org unit it was shutdown and now there is somehow SAP Innovation. So what I think should happen is that someone with the appropriate interest (not me!) should write an article with citations on the now historic-defunct SAP research of past times. Don't know whether that's notable (I think it is) but this remains to be seen once someone put in the work to write the article ;-) Dirk Riehle (talk) 17:59, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Good to see some original article creators are still around, and I'm sorry your article got nominated. However, I think that your point is flawed here: This article got nominated, as pointed out above, because no reliable sources could be found about it. It might be that the organization is large, generates a lot of money – but still fails WP:GNG (or WP:CORP) because we have no sources about them. As it stands, the article has only some refs who are by SAP, which is not WP:INDEPENDENT. So if you want to keep this article, you need to present reasonable evidence that someone else will be able to fix the article (you are right that it doesn't have to be you). So, in order to solidify your vote, please find and present some quality sources, as I couldn't. If I had been able to, I would have voted keep. --LordPeterII (talk) 20:13, 26 August 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Since a non-sock supported deletion, we cannot keep the article just because a sock was the nominator. We should return to checking on if this passes GNG or an appropriate SNG.

 * Delete I'm unable to locate any references that meet WP:NCORP criteria for establishing notability. Keep Bad faith nom by a sock  HighKing++ 19:25, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Out of curiosity, is this standard procedure? I see now that the nominatior was a sock; but I still believe this article clearly fails a WP:N check. Should such nominations be treated differently than regular noms? I mean, it would be kinda strange to have deletions fail simply because they were initiated by socks, which would go through if nominated by regular editors. – LordPickleII ( talk ) 19:34, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * , in my opinion if it isn't standard procedure, it should be. We are under siege by socks - either writing articles for cash or blackmailing companies to remove negative information. We've sock farms fighting among each other. I couldn't be bothered to reward a sock. If the article comes to a different editor's attention and is nominated, then I'll look at it.

 * Fair enough, I guess it's a stance to take. Somewhat offtopic: If you are bothered by socks this much, you might be interested in the RfC about the upcoming ArbCom elections, where denying votes to socks is being discussed: See here. – LordPickleII ( talk ) 19:55, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
