The result was delete. This content fork was the wrong way to go about moving the page, and the new name is inappropriately commercial. Instead, USB NX was moved to the new name NX (software) per Latischolar. Closing early because this isn't really about deleting article content. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article is a duplicate of UGS NX, which contains the article's edit history, and title is blatant advertising. —Latischolartalkcontributions 20:27, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Response by normsch. Yes, this is a copy of UGS NX. It was created because Siemens PLM Software acquired UGS. The intent is to redirect all links that had been to UGS NX, to this page. When that is completed, UGS NX will be eliminated. I am concerned about the blatant-advertising comment about the title and am open to suggestions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Normsch (talk • contribs) 22:53, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I can't do it myself because I'm not autoconfirmed; otherwise, I would have fixed this myself a long time ago. I propose MOVING UGS NX to NX (software) or another similarly neutral name. It has to be UGS NX, not NX - a Siemens PLM Software solution, because otherwise you'll lose the history of the article, which is illegal under the GFDL. Once that's done, UGS NX can be made into a redirect while links are updated. I'd be happy to take care of all of this. This article should be deleted because of the title and to preserve the edit history of UGS NX. —Latischolartalkcontributions 23:19, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Additionally, regarding your plan that "UGS NX will be eliminated"... you can't delete the article yourself. Only administrators can delete articles, and that only after consensus (except for speedy deletions and the like). —Latischolartalkcontributions 23:21, 7 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Additional note: if nothing happens by the time I'm autoconfirmed, I'll just be bold and take care of the UGS NX page move myself. —Latischolartalkcontributions 00:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
