TerrainView-Globe

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This article fails wikipedia's notability standards, I do not see why this specific program is notable besides all other programs out there that do the same thing. Wikipedia is not free ad space. The only sources so far are not even independent from the subject.

What a program is capable of does not make it notable. —  Dæ dαlus Contribs  11:16, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - I don't think it's notable. Never heard of that software before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.121.153.217 (talk) 12:02, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete - This is about the 3th time that ViewTec is trying to sneak in an article about their product TerrainView-Globe or TerrainView-Lite into Wikipedia. The original author user was tagged as sock puppet of the user  or vice versa. The last time when the article about TerrainView got deleted the author of the article  claimed to be the CEO of ViewTec. So the only person behind those accounts can be Dr. Michael Beck. Another sign of that ViewTec them self are behind this article can be found in the edit history of the article. The IP 91.138.108.44 resolves clearly to app.viewtec.net and I bet that all the changes are coming from this IP address or from AS41715. Every monkey and his dog are writing today Geo or Geo aware applications. TerrainView might be the best invention before or since slice bread but it is not notable. When TerrainView becomes so popular and significant as Google Earth or NASA World Wind or Microsoft Virtual Earth 3D then users will automatically create a Wikipedia entry for TerrainView. No need for you to be so penetrative. In short: Enough of this pushy behavior! — Preceding unsigned comment added by  69.36.184.177 (talk)

 * Keep TerrainView-Globe article is not a new article. It was listed in wikipedia in 2007. Worldwide it exists just a few 3D Globe geo solutions of big players. The open system architecture and the Virtual Reality based features e.g. CMAX are notable enough.
