The result was redirect to document-oriented database. This seems to have most support here. (non-admin closure) Timotheus Canens (talk) 02:08, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JSON database

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Unable to verify notability in any reliable sources. Poor quality article too. -- samj _in ^out 10:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to JSON would seem to be the best thing to do with this. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~. Given that CouchDB, which is one such database has an entire book about it [1], and that other systems of this kind exist and are listed in this article, an overview article for this type of database seems warranted. Pcap ping 17:39, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: So put it in the CouchDB article then. -- samj _in ^out 04:04, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not feasible because there's more than one notable db of this kind, e.g. MongoDB. Pcap ping 00:29, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to document-oriented database. Unable to locate significant reliable source coverage about "JSON databases" beyond 1 passing mention. Redirect since JSON DBs would be a proper subset of document-oriented databases. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:51, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to document-oriented database. Indeed the terminology doesn't appear widely used, even in comparisons of the notable DBs of this kind [2], [3]. These are more often referred as document-oriented database or NoSQL depending on context. The lead is thusly a bit WP:OR, and the implementation list partially present in the parent article. Pcap ping 01:08, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment indeed redirect sounds like a sensible solution. -- samj _in ^out 18:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep BSD-licensed Free software. Samboy (talk) 22:43, 8 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- What bearing does licensing have on this exactly? Not to mention we're talking about a class of software and not a particular piece of software, thus there is no license to consider. --Cybercobra (talk) 22:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. Notable technical topic with multiple implementations, and several strong citations in the text. These scattershod software deletion noms are getting crazy random! LotLE×talk 21:49, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Huh? The sources are all primary sources and only 1 mentions the term "JSON database". --Cybercobra (talk) 22:15, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect either JSON or document-oriented database seem to be appropriate. The above two keep votes seem particularly POINTy. Miami33139 (talk) 22:38, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
