Non-notable software release. Only citations are to primary sources, youtube, and to passing mentions stating that this software is used by a specific university. ST47 (talk) 18:28, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[]

There are 34 editors against the deletion so far and no comments in favor (except ST47's one). I think some comments in particular clearly describe how important this software has been in various contexts. It seems this has no relevance for the decision though, so I am not sure why a discussion for deletion has been started. I feel sad when I read "comments which have been haphazardly thrown onto this page": people spent time and energy to write those comments, express their opinion, actively contribute to this discussion and in turn to the quality of Wikipedia. Discussions should be one of the principle who guide Wikipedia but it seems the comments have been ignored, superficially evaluated and not taken into consideration. Furthermore, I have received a warning related to a Sockpuppet investigations on my account, so I guess someone thinks I have used multiple accounts to write these comments. Really? Anyone who knows a bit of my history and my level of commitment knows that I would never even think to do something like that. I am pretty sure you have all the technology means to assess that the comments below are not mine (except one). Ugeeeen (talk) 09:58, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Hello. I don't agree with the fact that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. It was one of the very first no-code/low-code platform (first public release: 2001, ~20 years ago); considering the importance of this market nowadays, in my opinion - even just for historical reasons - it should be on Wikipedia. Its Wikipedia page has been here and regularly updated since 2011. Apart from the historical reasons, DaDaBIK is still relevant today, more than ever, with thousands of customers all over the world and a community that has produced almost 20k messages in its forum. About its use by Universities: Universities have been used DaDaBIK a lot for several aims (internal admin tools, research purposes, teaching), sometimes it's hard to give a proof of all these uses because in the vast majority of the cases, we are talking about internal processes/tools; however, If you check Google Scholar for "dadabik", you will get lots of entries and this should suggest the fact that is notable in the academic world. I can try anyway to improve the page. Thanks. Ugeeeen (talk) 19:13, 23 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Hello there, I have to agree with the rest here as the chairman of Asparna research center for software. Our student researchers are using DaDaBik for several years with good results. We feel it fills an important gap between heavyweight prototyping and the manual tedious work of programming from scratch. It is definitely important in the NGO/NPO, Educational and Governmental spaces where budgets are slimmer. We hope there is no real reason for this deletion as we think it is substantial software, and definitely not non-notable (I would advise marketing it harder though!) -- All the best, Etamar, 7pm August 27 2021 (UTC)

Hi. We have been using DaDaBIK for several years and our trainees are able to develop their own applications in a few days. This is a great software and we do not agree with the deletion.— 94.31.90.86 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:33, 23 August 2021 (UTC).[]

Hi. I also do not agree that DaDaBIK is not-notable software. We have been using it for several years. We are a small museum with limited budget, and it ideally suits our needs. It is easy to set up and to use. Software can only be developed if it has a user base that warrants the development work, and in order for people to find out about it, it needs publicity, and Wikipedia is an ideal way of getting that. Please reconsider the suggestion to delete this from Wikipedia.— 77.75.110.165 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:42, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I don't think DaDaBik is a non-notable software. I am one between thousands of users of this great software and I think the page in Wikipedia can help people know more about it after a search of Google, if they, like me, are allways going to Wikipedia in order to know more about something. Celson Aquino, 08:42, 27 August 2021 (GMT -3)— 177.82.223.6 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:44, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Dadabik is unique and useful. I did a survey of similar software and Dadabik is the best of the bunch.— 73.65.21.185 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:29, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Please, don't delete this software. It is GREAT. — 179.98.157.125 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:49, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Keep him, please.— Samir Candido (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:54, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Don't delete it, this is software used by many. I was looking for this software for 5 years and never found it until recently.— Dhjhendriks (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:30, 27 August 2021 (UTC).[]

Agreed. Dadabik is used by many people and companies, I am not sure why deletion is necessary and seems to contradict the Wiki spirit.— 66.186.210.171 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 11:41, 23 August 2021 (UTC).[]

I don't agree that DaDaBik is non-notable. I use this software as the primary front end for online databases and find it the most useful of any software I use.

I'm a former user of DaDaBIK. I'm also against the deletion of the entry. Rather, I would like to see the entry further modified (by third parties) and expanded by pointing to other no-code/low-code CRUD platforms (possibly with a comparison page). Danzac64 (talk) 11:57, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

DaDaBik is a notable software. There are just a few CRUD solutions as complete as DaDaBik. Please do not remove it.— 170.250.194.111 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:12, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I do not agree with this deletion! As a supporter and donor of Wiki for many years now I feel this is entirely inappropriate. I have used this software for many years as a database front-end software to several databases in the not-for-profit sector. It’s designed for its ease of use by non-programmers and used by thousands across the World. It was so unique when it appeared 20 years ago ….and still is to this day. Its creator Dr. Eugenio Tacchini has spent many years improving and building on the application and it has a huge following. I personally believe that the reason the Wiki team have come to this conclusion is because of its perceived low-profile. Probably because it’s not sold off the shelf as a finished product, but as a software which underpins one. Its popularity, function and importance is therefore hidden from obvious view. I fully understand Wiki’s researchers for coming to this initial conclusion, and I know we have no real say in this matter…..but I respectfully request this decision is reversed so that Wiki can continue to make the World know about Dr Tacchini and his team’s incredible software and the valuable contribution they make to society as a whole. Please seriously reconsider this decision.— MarcLow (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:20, 27 August 2021 (UTC).[]

Disagree with the delete suggestion and the offered reason. DaDaBIk has been around a long time. It is stable and is continually developed and maintained. As noted by others, it is used by many thousands of institutions and individuals as a low-code front end to SQL-like databases. It long ago made the transition from free software to paid, which means the market finds value in it. You can find it listed in many online sources for database front ends, such as https://www.gadgetxplore.com/database-management-tools/ to take one example.Dh10~enwiki (talk) 12:24, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

We have been using Dadabik for many years. Deleting it from Wikipedia would be a shame.— 2003:c3:c721:fb00:a815:1016:e81f:a014 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:27, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I use DaDaBIK for commercial purposes. I can confirm that it is a notable software. It should have an article on Wikipedia.— 195.111.130.65 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:30, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Hello all. IMHO Dadabik is a notable software and i think it's relevant to give it a page on Wikipedia ! Dadabik lives for almost 20 years and it does not have serious competitors as a database front-end software. New versions are released on regular basis and use newest technology. I use Dadabik for commercial purposes too. It's quite important for end user customers to see we use notable software as it has its own Wikipedia page ;-) 80.12.85.16 (talk) 12:42, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— 80.12.85.16 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Dadabik is used software and still being maintained so it should not be deleted — 62.251.113.42 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 12:49, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

As an IT consultant, I have used Dadabik for numerous projects spanning multiple Fortune 500 companies over two decades. It is definitely worthy of a Wikipedia page, more so that most of the so-called celebrities that have a page IMHO. I suspect there are few external mentions/links if, like me, most are not in a position to disclose proprietary information; ergo, cannot link to the apps we create. Dadabik is notable software, without a doubt. Sounds to me like there's and admin who needs to do better research.— Grimblefritz (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 13:14, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Lectori Salutem, Following and affirming previous editors, DaDaBik is excellent software and deserving to be in Wikipedia. Bosch Bastiaan (talk) 14:26, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— Bosch Bastiaan (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. []

I volunteer for a small community museum and we use Dadabik to catalogue all our exhibits and documents. We looked at a few other museum software packages but found Dadabik is by far the easiest to develop and use. It is notable software, up to date and widely used. Please don't delete the Wikipedia page.— 203.206.17.24 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 14:44, 27 August 2021 (UTC).[]

DaDaBiK has been used by us for many years and is an important asset for many of our projects including student/course management, COVID-19 sample management, inventory management, and content management. It is a highly versatile software with an active community, regular updates and developments. We strongly disagree that DaDaBik is a non-notable software, contrary DaDaBiK is an excellent tool for database development, teaching, and practical applications.Stefan.taube (talk) 15:18, 27 August 2021 (UTC)— Stefan.taube (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

DaDaBik is certainly not "non-notable" software. It should certainly remain on Wiki to facilitate more people finding out about this excellent tool for integrating websites and databases. It's also updated regularly and I don't really understand why it's deletion from Wikipedia is proposed.— 2001:bb6:aac7:e800:741e:c730:bfb9:a394 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 17:37, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

I can't understand why the article about DaDaBik should be deleted. I owe a lot of information about software to Wikipedia. And DaDaBik is certainly not one of the negligible applications. Tikita (talk) 19:21, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Hi all. DaDaBik is mature (~10 years old), reliable, used by thousands of applications and still actively supported. That doesn't necessarily translate to non-notable. It's still a solid tool for fast development and its reference should remain on Wikipedia. Cheers!— 2601:644:8900:2ba0:a40a:3f6:a9aa:ab41 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

I'm an early adopter and we keep a couple of instances at the Semmelweis University in Budapest - one of the highest traffic cardiac centers in Europe. It has notable features and those who seek a solution for a PHP database frontend would find out that it offers even more nowdays. It has been actively developed, there is a responsive community one may access and rely on. My experience contradicts to the reason given for the intended removal. I strongly object against it.— 94.44.103.15 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 21:20, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

This is an active product regularly updated and used on the internet today.— 174.253.194.136 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 21:30, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

Please do not delete. My company has been developing websites using this software for over 10 years. It is a great platform for the developer with limited experience in PHP and Mysql who is interested in quickly setting up a website but in the process experiencing a learning development process and understanding of underlying principles involved. No other similar software has been apply to fulfill our requirements.— 2403:5800:5200:9fc:ed54:177d:e032:57e (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 23:17, August 27, 2021 (UTC).

To write that DaDaBik is non-notable says much about the writer and not much about DaDaBik. The writer's comments about citations may be correct, but a simple browser search would reveal the non-notable comment to be nonsense. The editor should clearly state what needs to be done - without uninformed editorializing. Constructive criticism is good. Unsupported conclusions are contrary to what wikipedia is all about. DaDaBik should retain its place in wikipedia.— 71.12.235.73 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. The preceding unsigned comment was added at 02:19, August 28, 2021 (UTC).

We considered many museum software packages and CMS products for image management when starting to digitise several hundred thousand images in the NZRLS archive, and selected DaDaBIK as a mature and well supported product to build from. It has the capability of customisation at multiple levels depending on technical skill, enabled the quick development of a prototype by importing a database and now has delivered a front-end package with straightforward multi-user access control and no annual fees. It's definitely notable software. LurkingKiwi (talk) 03:51, 28 August 2021 (UTC)[]

Multiple versions have been evaluated for vulnerabilities and are indexed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technologies [1]. An unimportant software package would not be subject to this kind of evaluation and scrutiny. In my opinion this subject meets notability criteria. Medmyco (talk) 15:45, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[]

I retired as an Asst. Vice Chancellor at UCLA in charge of the campus-wide administrative information systems. I rely on Wikipedia to find background on the development history of products and companies I am considering. These days I am leading a project to develop a web site for my county's genealogical society and evaluated DaDaBIK and eventually purchased it for the society to host our large local records databases. I note that there is significant interest in the product among many other genealogical and historical societies as well. I have seen a lot less significant topics on Wikipedia pages than this one. Please do not remove it. Don Worth, Oxnard, CA

We have used DaDaBik for our business for at least a decade. It is not "non-notable" and should not be deleted from Wikipedia.
