Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Outline of natural language processing. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. [1] GermanJoe (talk) 10:17, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Maziyar.panahi, as noted on top of my user talkpage, I prefer to discuss questions transparently in open forums (unless the issue is confidential of course). Simply put, Wikipedia is no venue for promotion and content should be based on independent 3rd-party sources. SpaCy for example has multiple independent sources in its main article to show that this is a "notable" software in Wikipedia's sense of the term (see WP:GNG). You'll find more detailed information in the blue-linked pages, but please feel free to ask at WP:Teahouse if you have any further questions after reading them. Best regards.

Hi GermanJoe, sorry I pressed the wrong button and sent you a private message. Thanks for your explanation. Just to be clear on my part, if I ask the contributors and creators who built that library to create a page on Wikipedia, and only refer to that page would that work? Again thanks for the help.

Generally such articles should be created by editors without a professional connection to the topic (see WP:COI), although editors with a conflict of interest can create draft versions to be reviewed by uninvolved volunteers before publication. And all articles need several independent 3rd-party sources for verification. If such independent sources with significant coverage about the topic exist (for example newspapers, books, journals or non-promotional expert reviews), an article is generally possible. A detailed "how to" guide for article creation is available at WP:Your first article. GermanJoe (talk) 11:22, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a fantastic help! I will let the creators know to read all the links and proceed accordingly if they wish to ever be in Wikipedia. Thanks again GermanJoe for the help and your time.
