Virtual dba

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

Made up term by the article creator to promot his own company, Virtual-DBA. Only use of this term comes from that company, which is also unnotable. Only edits by creator have been trying to promote this term among other DB related articles. It could probably be speedied (A7 - unnotable company), but its not entirely clear if the article is about the company or the term, so going AfD instead. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The above is not correct. Since this term was invented multiple companies and entities have used this term including Xtivia (as Virtual-DBA), IBM, Wardy IT and more. It seems to be spreading in use thus notability. I think it is important to note the origin of the term in order to decrease confusion and misuse. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juder9 (talk • contribs) 19:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Evidence? The only search results found for that term all lead back to your company. -- Collectonian  (talk · contribs) 19:23, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete no secondary source information, either for this or for "Virtual-DBA". Author obviously has COI, which lends a spamy flavor to the article. --Cerejota (talk) 19:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
