Improving this article

[edit]

This article was recently proposed for deletion. I deprodded it, because I believe DataEase is deserving of an article here, but it needs some work to address the problems that led it to being proposed for deletion:

  • The article has no references. Particularly useful would be references demonstrating independent third-party coverage, and confirming the importance of DataEase.
  • There is a large 'how-to' section with multiple screenshots - 'how-to' content is specifically mentioned in WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, or textbook as not appropriate in Wikipedia, and if this information belongs anywhere, it's in Wikibooks. I propose to remove this section from the article.

I plan to try to address these issues over the next couple of weeks, and would be grateful for any help in doing so. If anyone disagrees with any changes that I may make, I would be grateful if this could be discussed here, rather than reverting.

Thanks. --Michig 13:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the large 'From nothing to an application' section as mentioned above. If none of the content of that section violates copyright, it may be appropriate for Wikibooks - anyone wishing to retrieve the content can find it here.--Michig (talk) 19:41, 5 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising?

[edit]

It seems a leaflet from DataEase co., the product is almost unknown and every day legacy users abandon it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.114.145.37 (talk) 09:08, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Really?

[edit]

Who wrote the article is probably DataEase sales person. That product is obsolete since windows 95 came around. It is full of bug, unstable, unreliable, with a limited language. I have to use it at work and for that I am thinking to quit my job. The article really needs to be written in perspective: it was a popular product in the 80s, now ii going to die. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.150.42.196 (talk) 09:46, 8 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Very incomplete article about DataEase

[edit]

This is in fact a sales article about a product who had a great history in the past. To be complete, it must refer Arun Gupta the foumder who died in 2004 in a bicycle accident, and Pete Tabord who maintained DataEase for many years, until his departure from Saphire to create Ffenics, a rival product. I have no personal interest in any of the mentioned software products, I don't use any of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8A0:7C02:3C01:A82A:23F5:5210:732C (talk) 15:09, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
