Costing in excess of $20000 and being in a class with a small number of members doesnt make anything notable.
Paintings by a moderate artist might fall into that category, but the paintings would just be listed under the artist.
What else is notable about this?
I know very little about DMExpress - hence the stubbiness :) Here's my scenario: I work in the domain of ETL. Someone mentions DMExpress. I have no idea what it is. I head to Wikipedia, my first resource when I want to know what *anything* is. No article.
Should there not be an article? There aren't that many ETL tools. Your analogy is a bit flawed: You're saying that the artist is notable, but his paintings aren't. The equivalent then would be something like that the company is notable, but that individual copies of their products aren't. Really, though, in many cases, the company is not notable, their product isn't notable, and obviously individual instances of their products are not.
To resolve the question of whether my example of a stub was above or below the minimum quality waterline (just as an example, delete it for all I care :)), we do need to agree whether DMExpress is notable or not. A brief search shows 800 google results including magazine articles, so I'm not sure what the "no" argument would be.
Actually some further expansion on ETL would be nice - I don't understand the concept of "data warehousing" yet. Is this basically selling credit card details and other personal info to the highest bidder?
