Comment: I've removed the two sections that discussed products because those sections had nothing to say about the article's topic. What's left isn't advertising, but I'm not sure what to make of it. It doesn't seem like a proper article but I can't put my finger on why. —Largo Plazo (talk) 01:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - fails as a how-to article and as original research. Not a bad idea for an essay in a popular mechanics magazine. Bearian (talk) 00:06, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are no doubt interesting differences between Trust management (information system)s and Reputation management systems, but this article seems to advance a particular non-neutral point of view without discussing general issues or even definitions. The author's other article, Vulnerabilities of Reputation Management Systems has a similar problem. This is probably a notable topic; secondary sources such as [1] exist on which to base an article. But this article would need to be completely rewritten to be more encyclopedic in exposition and neutral in content. --Mark viking (talk) 00:35, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TNT. Topic might a bit notable, although I suspect it should be enough to mention the differences in the two parent articles. Present content wholly fails WP:SYN and WP:NOTESSAY. Someone not using his real name (talk) 02:07, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, there's just no need for an article about the difference between similar things. The material, if it has any value, can be in each of the individual articles. SchreiberBike talk 07:09, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The common meaning of Reputation management is the use of editing and linking to make a company or person look as good as possible. Trust management usually means financial management of trusts. A less common use of Trust Management involves a system for deciding how trustworthy another computer is in a network. This meaning and Reputation Management are really quite different things and there is no meaningful comparison. It may be that the meanings may shift and become more like what is claimed in this article, but that isn't the way the words are used at the moment.
