Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/System bus model
Without further researching the subject on other sources, let us first read the relevant sections of the references. The second reference of the article (http://books.google.com/books?id=0UMkAQAAIAAJ) starts its ''1.4 The System Bus Model'' section, just after the ''1.3 The Von Neumann Model'' section with the (page 5):"''Although the von Neumann model prevails in modern computers, it has been streamlined.''", which suggests that the so-called System bus model is the modern version of the Von Neumann model. The image on the article page is also a re-drawn copy of the "''Figure 1-3 The system bus model of a computer system. Contributed by Donald Chiarulli, Univ. Pittsburgh.''", page 5 from the same source. The term ''System bus model'' is only mentioned once in the first reference (http://books.google.com/books?id=QGPHAl9GE-IC&printsec=frontcover&dq=%2B%22The+essentials+of+computer+organization+and+architecture%22&hl=en&ei=zpS8TfSmMYzHsgaAltz4BQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=system%20bus%20model&f=false), inside the ''1.7 Von Neumann Model'' section and before ''1.8 Non-Von Neumann Model'' section, with "''This architecture (ed. Von Neumann) has also been streamlined into what is currently called the system bus model''" (page 32). This reference is published six years later than the other. We can conclude that these two references, both of which are published books about computer architecture, describes system bus model as a modern version of the Von Neumann model. Thus, merging the article into Von Neumann Model is plausible if it doesnt fail .When we check the web for other sources, we can see that the majority of the sources are direct copies from either of these two books (mostly the first) or from the course pages of the universities that use these books as the course textbooks. Some articles mention it (like http://www.cs.ucr.edu/~vahid/pubs/dt95_sd.pdf) but they either don't discuss it deeply or they're not directly related to the subject. This is (if I understand correctly) the main concern of the nominator per . This lack of sources except these books (that are mainly used as textbooks) suggests that the term is in fact coined to address a general modern version of the Von Neumann model. The main reference describes the model further by (page 5-6): "''"Most important to the system bus model, the communications among the components are by means of a shared pathway called the system bus, which is made up of the(..) the system bus is actually a group of individual busses classified by their function.''" The system bus page redirects to front-side bus, probably because of the sources like (http://download.intel.com/support/processors/xeon/sb/25213506.pdf). There is an old discussion on the talk page which address the difference between two terms (Talk%3AFront-side_bus#System_Bus).I think the article strongly needs {{tl|expert-subject
