Sentient PPM

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There only appears to be one article about this product (nothing came up for me in gnews, and fairly few ghits) The article is written like an advertisement by a user who's only edits to date have been regarding this product. OSbornarfcontribs. 23:53, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment please don't delete this is my first article ever written for Wikipedia so I'm still new at it. I am an IT student who has come accross this software. I noticed there was no article about it on here and felt that it deserved to be mentioned as there are many other PPM software packages with articles on Wikipedia. I found the Sentient PPM software very usefull and thought it deserved to be on here. I am only new to Wikipedia so still trying to work my head around how to write articles, most of the information I adapted from the setient software website. I will take what has been mentioned into consideration and will re-write this artice in the immediate future with a more neutral point-of-view. Thank you very much for your review of the article and please feel free to help a "newbee" out and make changes to make it more neutral.Gazza8946< —Preceding undated comment added 00:54, 4 March 2011 (UTC).


 * Comment - The "source" given in the article now is fairly minor. Seems to mostly be about the founder with a paragraph on the company.  Found this, which is extensive, but I'm not sure it's a WP:RS (is it a blog, or is there some editorial control there?)   Not much through other sources, lots of directory listings, not much PR.  Gazza; the promotional nonsense can be edited out easy enough, but are there any other 3rd party sources you used that you can point us to?  Kuru   (talk)  01:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - I have made some changes to the wording of the article. If I could get some feedback as to how it reads now would be fantastic. The reason I wrote the article is I that I found other articles about various other PPM packages on wikipedia but found nothing about this one. As part of my studies I have looked on Wikipedia for PPM software to assist with projects and felt that this needed to be represented as there are many other packages which are on here and this one is not mentioned. Thank you very much for the feedback. Please keep it coming and I will aim to update it as the feedback comes in. Please remember I am new to this. Thanks.Gazza8946 —Preceding undated comment added 01:38, 4 March 2011 (UTC).


 * Comment - There are articles about all the different PPM packages linked to this matrix (Comparison of project management software. I used this while I was looking for software to use for uni. Thanks Kuru for your help, it is very very helpfull. I will see what I can find for 3rd party information.Gazza8946 —Preceding undated comment added 01:47, 4 March 2011 (UTC).

 * Delete - Insufficient coverage in reliable sources to establish notability. The NZ Herlad article is primarily about Steve O'Neill with some minor coverage about Sentient.  I can find no other significant coverage.  There are some mentions like this, but that falls well short of what I would call significant. -- Whpq (talk) 14:22, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment As it stands, I'd have to vote delete, since no reliable, significant, or independent, secondary source coverage has been established. I've left a message at the user's talkpage, encouraging him or her to find acceptable sources so that the article might be kept. I've pointed the user in the right direction, so hopefully some sources should surface. Jay  Σεβαστός discuss  14:25, 4 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. No sources. Couldn't find any on www.Bing.com either. GeorgeLouis (talk) 16:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. More back-office business software.  No indication that this product has ever had the kind of historical, technical, or cultural significance that would make it an encyclopedia subject.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 17:24, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
