Product Ad?

[edit]

The only legit STEP format that exists is for CAD design. This format apparently is only used by a few vendors of Bible software, and many of those products don't exist any more. I don't think that this deserves a Wikipedia post, seems more like the author wants to get his name in Wikipedia. This is written more like a product ad. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.189.211.70 (talk) 01:59, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article about CAD design format can be found at Standard for the Exchange of Product model data. There is no legitimate reason for that ISO standard to have two articles. I'll also point out that the only edit Craig Rairdin has made to this article --- replacing vague generalities with specifics. This article was created by somebody who has no affiliation with the organization that formulated this file format. jonathon (talk) 02:38, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is a different format than that used for CAD design. I'm not sure what basis we would use for deciding that any other format that has been assigned, perhaps foolishly, the same acronym is not "legit." Let's put a disambiguation sentence on the top, to distinguish this from the ISO standard. EastTN (talk) 15:56, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
In as much as none of the articles (NOTE:Plural) on ISO 10303 do not use the phrase "step library", and the only time that phrase occurs in Wikipedia, is on this page,or those of Bible Study Programs that link here, adding the disambig paragraph seems pointless. jonathon (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More to the point, this article is misnamed. Standard Template Electronic Publication is not a library, but a specification. I'd suggest moving it to that name, with "STEP Library" as a redirect to that name. jonathon (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That makes sense to me. EastTN (talk) 20:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
