Now, as for AribaWeb; the main concern is notability. If you can round up some reliable, third-party sources signifying why AribaWeb is important in its field, then I'd be happy to recreate the article for you. Some helpful links can be found in the box I posted above this. If you need any help, don't hesitate to ask! :) Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :)} 01:41, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Master of Puppets... Why are these citations (from the post) are not reliable?

AribaWeb was first deployed commercially in 1999 as the UI and XML engine behind the Ariba Supplier Network and subsequently in 2000 as part of Ariba Buyer , making it perhaps the first pure-Java component-based framework deployed commercially. The framework is further notable for the scale of it's use: "AW" is the core of the network that connects over 140,000 suppliers and handles transactions worth more than $110 Billion per year , and is the presentation layer for a business applications run on more than four million desktops . This history make it among the most proven of open source web application frameworks.

Also, the following articles cover frameworks very similar to AribaWeb:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SmartClient
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Click_Framework
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_Server_Faces
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aranea_framework
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIFE

As I look at those, I don't see any good examples of why they are important in the field and had hoped to use those as examples of how to clear that bar.

Hello! I hope you don't mind my intruding, as Master of Puppets has been offline for a few days and I don't want you to think the Wikipedia community is uncaring of inquiries from new editors. I have some expertise in tech articles and I double checked the references you cited. They all point to Ariba, a company that is already featured on Wikipedia. Any information on AribaWeb would probably fit better in the existing Ariba article than as a standalone piece. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 02:04, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
