Very Large Business Applications

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is essentially a jargon soup linked to SAP terminology. It was created by an SPA in 2008 and essentially left untouched since then. The term apparently originates from German researchers at Oldenburg and Magdeburg, who have created a "VLBA research group" around 2007–2008. No evidence of general notability of this term beyond that, see for example a search for anything since 2010 excluding Wikipedia, Oldenburg and Magdeburg. — JFG talk 09:28, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge into a more general page such as enterprise software per WP:ATD and WP:PRESERVE. Andrew D. (talk) 09:39, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge to enterprise software. Old article that can be still preserved. Raymond3023 (talk) 12:45, 30 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Merge to the article for enterprise software. Anything that I would have said has already been said, but I figured I would include a vote as well.UtopianPoyzin (talk) 14:37, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article tells me, "A Very Large Business Application (VLBA) is a Business Application, which can be implemented through different types of Business Application Systems...". So it's a business application? The article does not even have a meaningful definition of the term, so it's hard to see what exactly is going to be merged. Adding it in it's entirety to enterprise software would not be an improvement to the encyclopaedia.  I would rather have it kept as a separate, but pretty useless, page than see that happen.

 * Delete, nothing worth merging, random buzzwordery that doesn't actually tell the reader anything; close to patent nonsense.  Sandstein   19:13, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
