Unfortunate we have to come here (but I hope we have a consensus) since the past 2 were closed as "NC" and then "SK", my own searches have noticeably found nothing better at all, and it quite easily showed that; nothing at all for actual substance. SwisterTwister  talk  03:54, 8 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment – The company was previously named "Intranet Solutions". North America1000 05:57, 8 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Selective Merge to Oracle Corporation, which acquired the company in 2006, yet the article has no mention of Stellent. This will serve to improve the merge target article as a functional and appropriate WP:ATD. North America1000 06:13, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment -- this is a tough one. As a publicly traded company, Stellent would have been presumed notable under WP:LISTED, but I'm not sure if this still applies to the company that's been acquired. For a sizable company (500+ ppl) and a acquisition target by Oracle, it's surprising that it's tough to find any coverage of substance. It gets a passing mention in ZDNet, but that's the extent of what I was able to find, apart from an article in Content Management World. Separately, I don't think that Oracle would be the right target, as that article is already well developed, and Oracle has acquired dozens of companies. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment - FWIW, this one is best relisted to clarify and specify between Deleting and then Redirecting; I will note that although this could simply be redirected, I believe it's best deleted and then redirected, considering there's nothing to actually keep if it's not in fact independently notable.

 * Comment – Some of the content is worthy of merging into Oracle Corporation. Notice how the article covers several aspects of its relation to Oracle, yet the Oracle Corporation article has no mention of the company. This is a functional and appropriate outcome, per Wikipedia's editing policy: WP:PRESERVE. North America1000 07:20, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of acquisitions by Oracle -- better target vs the main Oracle Corporation article. In the List article the name of the company is not written correctly so it's red linked at the moment. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:35, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment – I'd be fine with a selective merge to List of acquisitions by Oracle. North America1000 07:43, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
