Contested proposed deletion. Patent nonsense definition of a non-notable neologism, filled with puffery and other indications of intent to advertise: Business service providers (BSPs) are companies that offer state-of-the-art business applications over the Web. More gibberish:
- A service-based application is composed of a number of possibly independent services in a service-oriented architecture (SOA), which perform the desired functionalities of the architecture.
- BPS are delivered as Web services , designed with modern security, management, and identity standards to facilitate the plug-and-play integration of these services with other BSP services or with internal corporate Web services. The integration platform for BSP services within a company is the enterprise service bus, a standardized communication platform built on top of service-to-service messaging.
That's almost the entire article. "Referenced" to definitions hosted at some kind of Wiki or similar bloglike site. You will notice that the definition is oddly parochial and ahistorical; apparently nobody was a "business service provider" before the World Wide Web.

- Keep- the article no longer sounds as promotional, will try to clean it up. A412 (Talk * C) 19:44, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Your version certainly makes more sense than the original; but is this now redundant to outsourcing? - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:03, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Notable business concept. Articles on subjects like this necessarily use jargon; we should clean them up a little, but we have to use the vocabulary that is used in discussing the subject. After all, we don't do OR for what people ought to call the concepts. Making fun of it in the nomination, however appealing, does not amount to n argument for deletion.
