YATE[edit]

Organization lacks notability per WP:CORP. It is an article about a project that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. Calltech 18:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep IMHO, the YATE falls quite in the category of Asterisk, OpenPBX (now called CallWeaver), Bayonne, SER/OpenSER, FreeSWITCH and, or other such software projects, so might want to delete all these too. Moreover, I don't mind even if you suggest deletion of the whole Wikipedia itself :( That's only an opinion and opinions may differ --Dheeman 12:40, 31 July 2007 (UTC) — Dheeman (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Delete I originally deleted this as a spam article but was asked to reconsider and allow the article to improve. As the deletion was marginal I acceded. Clearly, the article has had time to improve and has but it still lacks independent reliable sources for verifiability and help establish notability. Without these, the article is not compliant and should be deleted. Note to Dheeman WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS isn't a reason to keep. Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:55, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep YATE is a powerful telephone engine. I believed you should keep this article. people know about Asterisk and they will learn about YATE! If you delete this article millions of people will miss a great opportunity to learn about YATE. --Madhawa_gnu 3 August 2007 — Madhawa_gnu (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Keep I have to admit that i'm a part of the Yate project. What i can say is that Yate is a project made by a romanian team. And is obvious that is not well promoted, even if his functionality is as good as Asterisk let's say, or SER or Nextone. That's because we are more busy on development than on promoting Yate. Since promoting Yate is my job mainly i have to admit i'm not doing it very well, however i do hope that the quality of Yate even if is open source will be enough to make it important. -- Diana Cionoiu 3 August 2007— 83.166.206.79 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Keep YATE is the most friendly IVR I've ever used. It should be a part of wikipedia to let others know more about it. amirghasemi 14:20, 3 Aug 2007 (UTC)— amirghasemi (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
Keep YATE is a solid server with a great deal of flexability and ease of use. It is the only solution I have found to connect Nortel phone systems to a carrier via VoIP alone.

Keep I agree that the article needs improving, however I disagree with Calltech on the grounds of notability. Specifically the referenced policy says that smaller entities are unlikely to have widespread coverage. The secondary source covering YATE is O'Reilly. IMO a not insignificant secondary source.--AnandKumria 03:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Yate is deployed surprising widely and therefore has some significance. Most notably yate provides SIP/H323 conversion and is hence deployed in quite some networks for exactly that purpose. gj101 07:30, 3 August 2007 (UTC)— gj101 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment The author of this article is engaging in a promotional campaign for this project and has posted a message on the YATE website requesting users to support her. Thus the recent flurry of single purpose accounts. This is blatant advertising and promotion. "Help Yate to become known" is the theme here. [1]. Calltech 12:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Actually the author of this article didn't promote the article. I did it. And since the problem with this article was that Yate is not well known i suppose that having users makes it well known. -- Diana Cionoiu 19.41 , 3 August 2007
Keep Yate is a very robust and strong product with a large user base, and has significance as such. It is not a trivial product, and the Wikipedia entry should not be deleted as such. Simon 12:34, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
