• Delete - Software article of unclear notability, lacking independent references. A search turned up no significant RS coverage of this software.Dialectric (talk) 02:22, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into ALICE - sourcing and justification provided by others in this discussion is sufficient for a merge.Dialectric (talk) 18:58, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• AliEn: "ALICE environment on the GRID", Journal of Physics: Conference Series
• "AliEn—ALICE environment on the GRID", Proceedings of the VIII International Workshop on Advanced Computing and Analysis
• The AliEn system, status and perspectives, Computing in High Energy and Nuclear Physics
• There is something to be said in favor of merging the current stub with ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment, but it's really a different subject. Kleuske (talk) 13:09, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect votes are fairly common at afd as an alternative to keep or delete. I've seen quite a few software articles closed as merge to the parent company, somewhat similar to merging AliEn to the larger experiment.Dialectric (talk) 13:16, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge into ALICE. AliEn (ALICE Environment) is short and ALICE is long so this can be done without WP:UNDUE emphasis. It may be difficult to establish independent notability for this topic as per nom's concerns. ~KvnG 05:34, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge but to clarify, not into ALICE which is a disambiguation page. Correct target: ALICE: A Large Ion Collider Experiment.--Gaff (talk) 00:54, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
