Deletion discussion about INSIKA

Hello, Kassenwart,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether INSIKA should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/INSIKA .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks, Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:28, 28 March 2013 (UTC)

INSIKA

Frankly, I doubt that INSIKA is notable enough to have a standalone encyclopedia article. If you are involved with them, I would recommend that you have a look at our conflict of interest guideline as well. Even assuming that the copyright issue were resolved, your own description of the program is not written from a neutral point of view.

My recommendation, if you really think that INSIKA meets our inclusion criteria for products and businesses, would be to try to work up a neutral, non-promotional version that does not copy your original text and submit it to Articles for Creation. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:30, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

INSIKA is a standard for the protection of tax-relevant data that was developed by the German metrology institute (a government organization). It is not a commercial product (of course it is used in POS systems and taximeters which are commercial products). In 2008 the Ministry of Finance planned to introduce it as a legal requirement. This issue is still under discussion in various countries. So I would say the relevance for Wikipedia is similar to e.g. SAF-T. I have to make up my mind if it's worth investing the work to write a new article with the risk that this is in vain... --Kassenwart (talk) 19:58, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
