Being from Ottawa, i want to be proud of Corel and their WordPerfect Office suite. Unfortunately, their glory days are far behind them. Ottawa's school boards (such as CÉCCE) and the Ottawa Public Library proudly provided Corel's office suite in the past years. Nowadays, however, the suite is gone and the teachers demand Microsoft Word.
This is just a small snapshot. The point is, if the suite can't even be embraced in its own city, how can it be notable anywhere else? It's not. The WordPerfect Office article merely reads like a sales brochure, listing the software bundled with each version of the office suite. It doesn't summarize its components ( WordPerfect, Quattro Pro, Corel Presentations and more), nor does it go over the pros and cons of them or the suite. It doesn't talk about real world deployment or market share of the suite. It doesn't even elaborate on Corel Office for Java. The article doesn't have a purpose that fits the goal of Wikipedia.
In short, i believe the WordPerfect Office article should be merged to the WordPerfect page. -- True Tech Talk Time ( talk) 14:03, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
