:Links to specific commercial systems such as this one are not appropriate per [[WP:ELNO]], I removed it again. - [[User:MrOllie|MrOllie]] ([[User talk:MrOllie|talk]]) 10:04, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
::Any commercial software or product can be described as "specific commercial system". I think there is some major misunderstanding since Wikipedia has a lot references to "specific commercial systems" like Microsoft Windows, MATLAB, Intel CPUs, etc. This page alone contains links to Microsoft Visual C++, Intel C++/Fortran compiler and even SPARC processor - all of which are very "specific commercial systems". The Multiprecision Computing Toolbox for MATLAB is no different from these tools. Toolbox adds quadruple-precision floating-point support to MATLAB system. It is used by hundreds of researchers around the globe, cited in dozens of scientific papers and books (citations appeared just in last several months: http://www.advanpix.com/2015/04/02/citations-digest-v-4/). I am having a hard time to understand why it is not good enough for Wikipedia.
::[[WP:ELNO]] is designed to prevent the scam, spam and links to malicious/harmful resources. It has no any signs of crusade against "specific commercial systems". Obviously removal of all references to "specific commercial systems" would make the article (and Wikipedia in general) shallow and non-informative.
::Could you please explain in detail your reasoning and provide exact item number from [[WP:ELNO]] which toolbox falls under? [[User:Kletka|Kletka]] ([[User talk:Kletka|talk]]) 02:55, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
