In contesting the prod, the author expanded the article by stating what this organization does. But there is nothing in terms of notability. Delete.  Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 20:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

STRONG DELETEThis "Organization" is a collaboration of consultants trying to use Wikipedia to advertize. The whole article is more or less their business model and the deliverables they offer to clients. Should have been submitted for Speedy--Nefariousski (talk) 23:55, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

  • Delete. Minor industry association with no showing of notability. Article seems to be a coatrack meant to insert links to various consulting firms into Wikipedia. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Hey everyone, just FYI, SAP User Groups are not-for-profit organizations and represent local customers. They are no consulting companies and therefore do not use Wikipedia to advertise themselves or make money. Marco.dorn 11:32, 13 March 2009 (CET)

  • Keep - There seem to be independent sources available to comply with WP:RS, like [http://www.finchannel.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23731&Itemid=99999999 this from The Financial], or [http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/153423/sap_tweaks_support_offerings.html this one from PC World] and there are other ones on Forbes, but I am having trouble accessing them + more [http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=SAP+User-Group+Executive+Network here]. -Marcusmax(speak) 01:34, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
  • KEEP and/or MERGE it belongs somewhere in the SAP user groups material, which is accepted as legitimate. this is a specialist subject, it would be worth checking with people who write on the subject to determine notability here. Lx 121 (talk) 01:38, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Delete While it does seem possible that notability could be established per Marcusmax (here's a couple more [http://www.ibtimes.com/prnews/20081106/ca-sap-support-offrng.htm International Business Times] and [http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/11/11/233305/sap-enterprise-support-dominates-user-event.htm Computer Weekly]) I see an article that is entirely written to promote the organisation and thus fails WP:ADVERT and WP:PROMOTION. Maybe it could be rewitten, but only by first deleting everything that's there already and then writing from the sources. The only source that is currently used is the organisation's own website.
