Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsourced essay, not an encyclopedic article. Likely original research. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:11, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Looks like the text of a presentation - presumably the same one that accompanies the powerpoint slides used as a "source". Definitely not what Wikipedia is for. Yunshui 雲 &zwj; 水  15:55, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete I originally PRODed this as an essay, and the template was removed. It looked like a straightforward case to me.  I get 8 database hits for the phrase "Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud,' but within the articles they don't seem to be talking about a unified concept so much as listing the elements of trends in data, social computing, &c., in a consistent order.   --some jerk on the Internet    (talk)  16:14, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * The topic should have it's own page but the reference used is obviously a non-RS. Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud is a notable topic and deserves to have a page but needs reliable sources to back it up. Instead of listing and describing what each of the subjects are, instead maybe an updated version could show how they all can be incorporated together to better a business and the future of businesses. I recently stumbled upon an article not to long ago and after reading this page, I was reminded of it. Might be of some use. Meatsgains (talk) 18:20, 27 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment The source pointed out by Meatsgains provides a list of 2013's overused business buzzwords, including "social media" and "big data analytics".  It does not describe the conjunction of social media, mobile platforms, analytics and cloud computing in the manner described in the article under discussion for deletion.  The present article appears to be about "how to succeed in future business", containing large bits of speculation about what the future may hold, rather than any actual verifiable content about practices that are actually in use.  The fact that Meatsgains source lists these topics as overused buzzwords indicates at least some sentiment that the SMAC concept may not be taking hold.

 * Delete as above, not an encyclopedic topic. And why oh why do you still allow brand new users to create articles? See Special:Contributions/Ankitgupta667 the single-purpose account which created this on their second edit. W Nowicki (talk) 17:10, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Author has blanked the page, essentially requesting deletion. WP:CSD probably applies.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 18:57, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
