This page, along with the numerous SAP-related pages to which it links, is just an advert for a company that doesn't seem especially notable. (Pages for similar companies have been deleted with broad support for doing so.) This article has been tagged as an advert for a year and a half with no improvement or claim to notability as far as I can tell. B.Rossow · talk 16:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep 2e. While there's probably a valid argument that this article, and the related ones, are in need of cleanup, that's not what AFD is for. However, there really cannot be any serious argument that this company lacks a claim to notability. It is, among other things, the 3rd largest software company on the Forbes Global 2000. Globally scoped, widely-traded, multi-billion-dollar companies are virtually assured to have sufficient references available on account of their financial activities alone, much less their actual products. And, indeed, while I'd like to see more of the company-derived referenced replaced with third party material, there's plenty of sources already present, ranging from CNET to Der Spiegel to the New York Times.

Speedy Keep SAP isn't notable? Wikimedia probably runs some kind of SAP software, along with many major companies! Major stock, major German company, pretty much just as big as Oracle. WP:BEFORE definitely not done, this nom should get the WP:TROUT it deserves, along with the usual rebuke that "AfD is not cleanup". Nate • (chatter) 18:33, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - What! Nom may be right that some of the SAP pages could be merged, and perhaps that all need editing. WP:SOFIXIT. Chiswick Chap (talk) 18:45, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
