Suggest to delete the Publicon entry edit
Does Publicon from Wolfram Research really warrant an entry in Wikipedia? One can understand an entry for Mathematica, as it is a well used product which is the flagship of Wolfram Reserach. But Publicon is hardly important, being a minor product. Should every company have a Wikipedia entry for every product they sell?
I would maintain Publicon does not deserve an entry and should be deleted. Drkirkby (talk) 22:31, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
- I can't comment on notability, but I have fixed the lack of references, since that seemed to be the main problem with the article. JonMcLoone (talk) 10:50, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
- Publicon is a minor product only when it is compared to Mathematica, but it is a significant product in its own right, and it is competive with the much more expensive Scientific Word because it gives you great flexibility to export as LaTeX (which Mathematica does not, surprisingly) - I have personally used Publicon to produce thousands of pages of technical documents via this route. Unfortunately, Wolfram has left Publicon languishing at version 1.0.1 (since March 2005) so its user interface is "eccentric", though in private emails they tell me that they intend to return to work on it again.

Discontinued product edit
The Publicon product has been discontinued for some time now. This page should either reflect this or be removed. I propose deleting it, and replacing a redirect to Mathematica which absorbed some of its features. JonMcLoone (talk) 17:46, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
