A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Flackle is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flackle until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

The article Zach Davis has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

December 2016[edit]
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Constructive contributions are appreciated, but, in this edit to Flackle, you removed Articles for deletion notices from articles or removed other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. This makes it difficult to establish consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Zach Davis. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Flackle[edit]
Just as a heads up, despite my editing of the page to improve it, I do believe that at this point in time the page is not relevant enough to be on Wikipedia, and it looks like it was made for promotion instead of description. My most recent edit removed a lot of opinion and made the article more objective. I also removed information about previous uses of the word Flackle, as those are left for a disambiguation page, not your article which should be specific on only your use of Flackle.
I recommend copy and pasting the entire page in a document on your computer for purposes later down the road, should it be deleted, and should the app gain popularity enough for it to warrant a Wikipedia article. As it stands, it is a "decent" enough page, but it is in serious need of 3rd party sources from well-known sources (think New York Times, Washington Post, things to that level of prominence.) An app like, say, Snapchat can only exist when there are thousands of articles being written about it. As of now Flackle isn't well enough known, but in the future it might be.
Hopefully this helps. If you have any questions please head over and leave a comment under this or on my talk page. Semmendinger (talk) 19:03, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, ZachDavis. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:
- avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
- instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
- when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
- avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
- exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).
Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 02:43, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
