Talk:CSiBridge
Contested deletion
[edit]This article is written in a neutral tone, factually describing the capabilities of a software tool which is very useful to, and popular among, the bridge industry. Promotional terms are not used in this article, and it is not the intent of the article to promote the product.
Reference to the company which does produce the product will be removed from the lead paragraph to reinstate encyclopedic tone.
This article should not be deleted for lack of asserted importance because the CSiBridge structural engineering software represents an important contribution to the structural engineering industry, justifying its documentation. Additionally, CSiBridge has enough notability on its own to merit an article separate from the Computers and Structures, Inc. (CSI) article, which provides encyclopedic content documenting the company which produces the software.
Creation of a separate page to document CSiBridge will make the subject easy to find and read. Further external references will be provided with the addition of content to justify its notability.
While this article currently is very brief, it has just been created and will be developed into a more comprehensive and neutral resource in the very near future.
CSiBridge serves as an important tool for the advanced study and understanding of bridge systems. The modeling and assessment of bridge systems would not be at its current state without the CSiBridge software. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikepabell (talk • contribs) — Mikepabell (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
CSiBridge article created
[edit]I represent CSI and I have many suggestions for how to edit this article. I would appreciate the assistance of the Wikipedia community in contributing to this article. I am available for dialogue.
I think a great place to start might be looking into publications on structures derived from analytic models using CSiBridge. Let me gather a list of non-primary citations which do discuss the use of CSiBridge software in analysis and design, then I'll post them here for possible use.
It is the goal of the structural engineering community to provide society with more economical and better performing structures. Perhaps integrating material into this article will be to the benefit of public well-being, as well as education.
