[[Meta-model|Meta-modeling]] is a fairly general field. This article seems to be describing a very specific instance of meta-modeling, rather than a general technique. Is there any way to make the article name more specific to the techniwue it is describing? Something like "Meta-modeling technique for development processes"? --[[User:Allan McInnes|Allan McInnes]] <small>([[User talk:Allan McInnes|talk]])</small> 18:15, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 
Upon reflection, I think it would be better if this article was ''generalized'' to cover more than just the single meta-modeling technique described here. There are a number of other approaches to meta-modeling that might be compared and contrasted, as evidenced by [http://72www.14google.203.104com/search?q=cache:rl6wEmpdcsQJ:moncs.cs.mcgill.ca/people/ylu/research/readingProject/report.pdf+meta-modelling+techniques&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=6 this report]. --[[User:Allan McInnes|Allan McInnes]] <small>([[User talk:Allan McInnes|talk]])</small> 18:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
 
Agree with the above comments. Metamodeling arguably originated with IRDS and CDIF, and has reached its fullest maturity in the thought leadership of the OMG. This is a particular spin on the topic and quite misleading as such. I put the following intro in the article but decided it was best left until someone could do it right:

Doing more digging - I am reacting to stuff without searching far enough - the actual [[meta-modeling]] article is a good and appropriate start. The "meta-modeling technique" article probably doesn't belong. [[User:Charles T. Betz|Charles T. Betz]] 01:39, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 
:Perhaps the best idea would be to merge the content from here into [[meta-modeling]], and do a redirect. Note that there's also a certain amount of overlap with [[meta-model]]. --[[User:Allan McInnes|Allan McInnes]] <small>([[User talk:Allan McInnes|talk]])</small> 16:22, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
 
::Allan, I did some transport to Metamodel, forgetting the spelling problem :|). Now what should be the status of this current "Meta-modeling technique" ? The material seems very specific, and does not correspond to a general entry. What is the standard procedure for this? Deletion or most likely changing the article title to reflect more accurately the content? [[User:MDE|MDE]] 08:21, 27 May 2006 (UTC)
 
:::[[WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information|Wikipedia is not an instruction manual]]. From a quick glance at the material that's left, it seems more like a how-to guide than an encyclopedia article. If you think it can be turned into an encyclopedia article, then I would encourage you to do so. Otherwise, you might consider either turning the article into a [[Help:Redirect|redirect]] to [[meta-modeling]], or simple [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposing it for deletion]]. --[[User:Allan McInnes|Allan McInnes]] <small>([[User talk:Allan McInnes|talk]])</small> 17:11, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

This article currently states that
:''The recommended standard orthography is '''metamodeling'''''
Recommended by whom? Can anyone provide a reference? --[[User:Allan McInnes|Allan McInnes]] <small>([[User talk:Allan McInnes|talk]])</small> 03:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
