Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Odoo (2nd nomination)

This is one of the best open source ERP software on the planet with millions of users, you shouldn't try to delete / edit articles that you really don't understand only based on quick googling, leave it to people who understand the matter. this software had a name change recently, read this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Odoo

This is very sad to see people with no understanding of the field have the right to delete articles, and delete with no reservation. the guy User:JzG who deleted this article should be banned from the admin team. I personally have no connection with the company behind this software, for the god sake, this is an open source software. does the company behind this open source software make money by providing paid support and hosting? yes, this is how many of opensource software financed. the guy who put this article for deletion had Notability issue with this article, me and many others addressed the notability issue, then out of the blue this JzG guy comes and deletes the article, saying "This is an article that serves only to promote.", where exactly it is promoting? I am looking at the google cash of the article and can't see any promotion! even if there is a part that promotes in an article, that part should be removed not the article. JzG with great power comes great responsibility and you are not deleting responsibly.--Princethezeroth (talk) 01:03, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

To guys who are behind this software: please don't be discourage by what happened here, I watched your version 9 preview presentation online, you are years ahead of any other business software i know, and I know a lot of them; soon it will be a shame for wikipedia not to have a page about your opensource software. keep up the good work.--Princethezeroth (talk) 01:22, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

I have no connection to Odoo other than interwiki links from my own wiki. I found a bad link for Odoo in my wiki and followed it here. My primary interest is Python in all its charming variety. And as someone who knows Python pretty well, I can say that Odoo is a significant and notable part of the Pythonosphere and its absence from Wikipedia will be felt.

I think there is a deeper issue here than just editorial or administrative overkill. The question is: what is reality ? Can reality be vetoed out or deleted ? Does Wikipedia represent a common consensus about the 'real world' ? Or is Wikipedia a collection of articles which reflect the interests of authors and administrators and may or may not reflect the real world ? [ I don't mean to set up a false choice. There are other possibilities, but I see this as a main 'axis of argumentation'. ]

Personally, I try to use links to Wikipedia as fixed navigation points, something like immutable anchors to things in the real world. All too often I'm finding that spurious deletions are creating large, truck-sized holes in my ontological fabric. It's disconcerting and almost scary in a way, kind of 1984-ish. On the other, I recognize that there are good deletions as well and have seen them from time to time.

These comments may be for a larger discussion than Odoo and more appropriate elsewhere, but this is such a perfect example of an inappropriate, 'reality-bending' deletion that I felt I had to say something, if only keep my ontological fabric intact.
