- Comment I have been trying to cut out the advertising-type language from this. I have a gut feeling it might be notable, but it needs sourcing to establish this. Brilliantine (talk) 02:23, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Your gut feeling it right! I know for fact that it is used in the industry. However, since it is a backend system I guess many times it is “hiding” behind the better known brand names. Nevertheless I assume many developers who have to “deal” with this product appreciate more information about it. I just searched two of the primary travel news sites in Europe and the US and the product is mentioned on both of them (http://www.eyefortravel.com/node/2180 or http://www.travelweekly.com/Article.aspx?id=129106). I’m sure there is more once you dive deeper.
- Comment I tried to get some more references for the XX/1 but it is used by all the GDSs for sure. As well as by lots of Travel Management Companies, (like the first 3 in the Travel Weekly Power List of '08). This makes it a notable product since all the biggest players in the travel industry rely on XX/1 as backend server system. I would be glad to get further help with this article since it is my first one. I would definitely like to help people with this article and avoid "advertising-type language" Thanks Brilliantine by the way! I am interested in further suggestions for improvement. Thanks! --Yellowbox (talk) 16:30, 10 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Definitely not an article to delete! I found out about XX/1 thanks to it - and I was researching exactly how to work with GDSes programmatically. Surely an article to be corrected, though. Please, don't remove it. -- AndyBrandt (talk) 19:02, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. Fails notability and lacks reliable sources. Reads like spam. Wkipedia is not a how to site. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:25, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
