== Merger proposal ==

Proposing merger of [[Message-oriented middleware]], [[Enterprise service bus]] and, [[Message broker]] and [[Enterprise messaging system]] for [[Wikipedia:MERGE#Merging|reason 2: Overlap]] - ''There are two or more pages on related subjects that have a large overlap. Wikipedia is not a dictionary; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept in the universe. For example, "Flammable" and "Non-flammable" can both be explained in an article on Flammability.'' [[User:Pratyeka|prat]] ([[User talk:Pratyeka|talk]]) 13:08, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

* Basically it seems these terms are bandied about for marketing purposes and have no fixed definition, whilst practically speaking their overlap is huge. Perhaps we would do better having a separate [[Comparison of middleware platforms]] article to drop all the industry-jargon / copious hair-splitting feature sets in, and keep the main (concept) article more approachable and generalised as befits a general audience?

** It seems a comparison article already exists at [[Comparison of business integration software]], however it is a bit of a mess and of dubious usefulness. [[User:Pratyeka|prat]] ([[User talk:Pratyeka|talk]]) 02:13, 25 September 2010 (UTC)
