The result was redirect to Extract, transform, load. This is the best option, and actually the most accurate. - Ta bu shi da yu 20:15, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Contested prod. Article has no sources, and is not written in an encyclopedic tone. Too technical, very little context of why this process is notable. Would try to fix, but it is difficult to figure out what to keep and what to discard, and lack of notability makes it unlikely that it is worth the effort. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It looks like a summary or outline was copied out of a textbook to me. This could very easily be merged into the Data warehouse article. The article is very specific to data warehouses and not to anything else. The title is too generic for this article if it were to stand alone. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 15:39, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There are entire text books on data warehousing, so it would not be that unusual for such a topic to have several sub-pages on WP. Dhaluza 16:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete- completely incoherent, does indeed look like it was copied out of a textbook, original author signed on the page. OSbornarf 16:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC) Change to neutral per below OSbornarfcontributionatoration 15:49, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Extract, transform, load. The information in this article is a grab bag of unreferenced information and how-to so there's nothing to merge. But data loading is part of the ETL function. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whpq (talk • contribs) 19:02, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep this is obviously a topic that deserves coverage, but just as obviously needs work. A clean-up tag would have been much more appropriate than an AfD tag, as this is the user's first contribution, and WP:BITE is certainly a factor. Assuming references can be found for the content, it would not merge well with Extract, transform, load as suggested above because of its size, but that article could be used in summary style with a link to this one, and hopefully an improved article on Data extraction and an integrated view with Data transformation as well. If the closer decides to delete, I strongly suggest the page be userfied to the author's space so he is not discouraged from working on improving it. Dhaluza 10:04, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
