Simio[edit]

PROD removed by a drive-by user even after it was endorsed Anarchyte and I still confirm everything I said here but, fortunately, with this 2nd AfD (the first one was closed as Speedied), we can at least have G4. Although this is tagged as "new user and assume good faith", there's simply no chances of this actually being notable as I note several things: nothing satisfying the applicable notability, the sources are simply not convincing and searches, again, simply found nothing better.

Delete with the same reasoning as what the two PROD's said. Anarchyte (work | talk) 02:51, 30 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and, again, delete. I just tagged it for speedy, then realized it's been around for a while, so, in case it gets untagged, I'm contributing here. I looked for an earlier, non-spammy version—and couldn't find one. The version when deprodded was terribly promotional: "so even novice at programming languages can also use it easily", " which gives better risk measurement", "helps making real time decisions", "users can intuitively and graphically build a model", "users easily switch the display", "Simio enable [sic]", "Simio can provide", and the entire litany of things that Simio is said to be good for. And that "Further Reading" section. I can't believe it's avoided deletion before now. Largoplazo (talk) 20:04, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I removed the tag. If the language were changed, would the underlying content be satisfactory? DGG ( talk ) 00:38, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- I must not be understanding your question. Your proposition, "If the language were changed, would the underlying content be satisfactory" says to me that G11 doesn't apply if someone could have written a completely different, neutral article about the subject, and I'm pretty sure that that isn't true. The language is what G11 is about. This article, as written, is promotional through and through. Largoplazo (talk) 00:53, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

G11 is for articles that "would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. If...the content could plausibly be replaced with text that complies with neutral point of view, this is preferable to deletion" I removed G11 from this article because I think I could fairly easily rewrite it, as I have rewritten many hundreds of articles over the years. (Sometimes I am even prepared to do the fundamental rewriting that can make a valid G11 non-promotional--I've done that many dozen times by now.) I do this selectively, , when I think there is sufficient notability to be worth the troubleI therefore ask those who wish to delete the article, Is there sufficient basis of notability here to make it practical? (Yes, I normally formi my own judgment on this, but I sometimes want other opinions,--in this case, because I think it's borderline in both respects. DGG ( talk ) 04:25, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete -- promo content on a non-notable product. Sourcing does not suggest encyclopedic notability. K.e.coffman (talk) 04:48, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
