Your submission at Articles for creation: RSS Guard (July 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Calliopejen1 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:RSS Guard and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:RSS Guard, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Comparison of feed aggregators

When editing Comparison of feed aggregators, on the very top is an important announcement: IMPORTANT NOTE – READ BEFORE ADDING AN ENTRY This is a list of NOTABLE feed aggregators, as judged by Wikipedia's notability policies, obtained by searching Wikipedia for WP:N. Please don't add external links or wikilinks to nonexistent articles – instead, read our notability policies and write the article first, ensuring to demonstrate notability. Entries without articles, redlinks, external links, and links to articles that aren't about the aggregator in question will be pruned periodically. Fill in the background info too, please, to make this article useful.

Despite this notification, you have added an entry without an existing article. So that entry is removed. The Banner talk 13:04, 22 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of RSS Guard

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on RSS Guard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Request reason:

Hello. I written article for "RSS Guard" in the same approach as existing articles "Liferea", "QuiteRSS" and many others so that "RSS Guard" becomes "notable". RSS Guard is open-source software used by thousands of users every day. I needed to create the article to include RSS Guard to "Comparison of feed aggregators" page where every application in the list must have its own Wikipedia page. But, what the hell, my "RSS Guard" article was DELETED (so I cannot even tweak it anymore) and my account is blocked so that I cannot even re-write it if I wanted to. It was literally the same layout as the above pages "Liferea" etc. - some basic description of the program and list of the most notable features - easily verifiable information. I am not "undisclosed paid editor". I am the author of free application RSS Guard and I would like to have it in "Comparison of feed...." page as it has some very unique features. Skunkos (talk) 06:36, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Please see other stuff exists. It could be that the other articles are inappropriate, or that unique circumstances apply to them. Your application does not merit an article because others do- not every application does, as Wikipedia does not provide equal time to all possible members of a topic category, it depends on coverage in independent reliable sources. Please review conflict of interest and explain how your future edits will be consistent with that policy, as well as describe other topics you might edit about. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:03, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

OK, I got it now. I will do my best to improve. Anyway, I plan to create unbiased article for "RSS Guard" I would like to just know why exactly RSS Guard does not merit its own Wiki article. If I understand it correctly, self-published sources are not recommended to be used when writing article. Well, that sucks. So you recommend that article "RSS Guard" should be written by someone else? Well, it could be, but I would like to be able to edit and improve it once it exists etc. Please unblock my acc. Also, the reason of blocking, "undisclosed paid editor", is just not correct. In fact, it is pure lie. I am not neither undisclosed nor PAID. I AM THE AUTHOR of the application which is FREE and I am not paidy by anyone else to post it on Wikipedia. This is just nonsense.

Decline reason:

We don't get to write about ourselves, our organizations, or our products on Wikipedia. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 22:45, 3 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
