Talk:Delphi programming language

message: Borland has choosen to divest itself of Delphi. It has been openly discussed that some current Borland managers will move to the head of a new company that will own Delphi. This shows that the new company will be a spin off rather than an outright Delphi purchaser. After this spin off, if Borland were to fold or acquired, this action will preserve Delphi's owners/managers postions. If you want to edit out these facts, please provide an argument here.

replies: text: There's a couple major problems I see here. First, unless a statement about motives comes from a company's PR department, anything about the company's motives is speculation. The thread you link to shows exactly how credible this source is -- not at all. Also, even if it were true and we had official confirmation, it is still attached to the wrong article entirely: The article on Delphi programming language should not be talking about Borland's manuevers at all, except insofar as it changes the language. --Steven Fisher 17:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

text: As (1) a moderator of the newsgroup in question and (2) someone who is under NDA with Borland and has close connections with many employees there I can assure you that anonymous posts on the Borland newsgroup are not a reliable source, generally speaking. They certainly don't meet WP:V. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. You may also want to read Wikipedia:No_original_research. Note that Verifiability and No original research are not my personal opinion; they are official policy on Wikipedia. I edited out the speculation; I don't see any verifiable facts in what you added. --Craig Stuntz 02:04, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Divesting Delphi 

message: This article talks about a programming language and Delphi is just an IDE which uses that language. The language is commonly known as Object Pascal or Delphi Pascal. Someone who knows how to use wiki proper, unlike me: please fix this.
::Done. Dybdahl 06:17, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Delphi Language is not Object Pascal and if Object Pascal deserves its own article so does the Delphi langauge, as it is much more widely used. Please put back the content relating to the Delphi language. Plastic rat 09:58, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notice that 

message: I've split Delphi IDE information into Borland Delphi. Delphi product information should go there. This article should be for the Delphi Pascal language itself. Please change. thx
::I moved all content of this article to either Object Pascal or Borland Delphi, sometimes rephrasing things to make sure that things are now better than it was before. However, there are still minor things to clean up, so please visit these two articles, read them, and fix things you think is wrong. I suggest that continued talk is done using the talk pages for these two articles. Dybdahl 06:19, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The only problem with this is that the Delphi programming language is explicitly not Object Pascal. --Steven Fisher 03:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Sdfisher above - there shouild be an article for delphi pascal langauge, separate from the Delphi IDE and Object Pascal language. The Borland Pascal language is used by e.g the free pascal compiler, and the delphi compiler can be used alone independent of the IDE, so this is a separate topic. Please revert this change.
