This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the importance scale.
Material from Soft launch was split out into Soft launch (missile) on 12 December 2011. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted so long as the latter page exists. Please leave this template in place to link the article histories and preserve this attribution.
The "hotel" example cited in the opening sentence is a soft open rather than a soft launch. Whilst there is some overlap in the principle, soft opens are about training staff and testing the day-to-day practicalities of facilities. As it stands, this article is strictly focused on software. Whether soft opens should get a separate article or a separate section, I'm undecided. danno_uk20:05, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
under the computer heading, in the website section, there are three links to outside sources that are not only seemingly unnecessary, but they are advertisements as well. For example; there's a sentence That explains the concept of minimal viable product launching, but the next sentence references a website called hacker News and claims that it's a forum primarily populated by so-called early adopters. I believe that this is worded in a way to attempt to promote hacker news. There are two more links that are inserted into the article. Neither add any information and serve only to promote themselves. I don't know the terms and service of Wikipedia but this seems like it shouldn't be allowed. Whether or not it's permitted honestly isn't my concern, my concern is that I find it so disgusting that I just read three ads in one paragraph of a wiki article. I don't know how to submit an edit request or to ask someone to fix this or how to go about getting this changed, but I had such a visceral reaction to the promotion of a product being shoe-horned into what is undoubtedly one of the seven wonders of the internet, that I had to try to take some sort of action so I hope that someone sees this, whether it's someone who could help or someone who can screenshot this and post it to Reddit to make fun of me, and in the process the right person sees it there... Please someone remove these links, remove any reference of these companies from this article. It's unnecessary, it doesn't serve the article anyway, and it makes me hate capitalism in the modern world in a way that I just can't be bothered with right now. I got a kid man, Wikipedia shouldn't be bothering me this much. ~2026-20479-19 (talk) 08:02, 2 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
