Welcome![edit]

Hello, WiseKitchen, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as AutoScheme, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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 AutoScheme requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Fiddle Faddle 15:25, 16 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article AutoScheme has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreleased software with no indication of notability. (The website for the software is "under construction", and I get a blank page when trying to access the developer.) No other links provided. Obviously too soon for an article.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

September 2013[edit]

Information icon Hello, WiseKitchen. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article AutoScheme, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

  • Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
  • Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
  • Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
  • Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Fiddle Faddle 08:46, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice Tim, despite working for the developer I am doing this without their knowledge or consent, I am currently writing this article because there seems to be none and from what I see and know this is definitely a notable subject, can you help me in requesting an independent article about this? WiseKitchen (talk) 08:55, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest most strongly that you stand back from the article and let it take its chance. The issue with your connection is that, while you may know it is notable, the rest of the world seems to have no idea that it is. And Wikipedia may not be used to create that notability, it may only report and record what others state. At present the software, wholly unreleased, has PR material going back to Jan and Feb 2013 saying it is 'coming soon', and a web site that is patently useless. So the software cannot be notable because it doesn't exist yet.
When it exists it may sell like hot cakes or may sink without trace. On a personal basis for your job I hope it sells, but it is far too soon for an article on it. Fiddle Faddle 09:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Tim, I have just found out that the website is being 'redone' and I have seen this material, rather than attempting to create the notability that you speak of I am attempting to create a basic record of existence outwith the published PR material which I may add to later. As I have previously said, the developer has no idea that I am doing this and I wish to keep it that way, is there any way to be inkeeping with wikipedia policy and keep this article? Edit: I also have no interest in promoting this sotware as there is already sufficient PR work being done by other people. WiseKitchen (talk) 09:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The only way the article will be kept is if the article itself asserts the genuine notability of the software and verifies that notability in reliable sources. That's neither good nor bad, it;s the bar the topic has to leap over in order to warrant an article here.
Press release material will not do the trick. Press releases simply show that various news organs short on stories have picked up the PR material form the PR team. So you are looking for real reviews in well respected publications that explain the notability of the product. It isn't sufficient just to prove that something exists, either. If you search for me online you will see that I exist. I am not, however, notable, despite having been an expert in my field when I worked in that field, so a Wikipedia article on me would be thrown out in an instant.
Since you wish to keep the developer unaware of your involvement I suggest that you simply wait for the software to gain notability. In any case I suggest again that you stand well clear of this article. Enjoy playing in the WIkipedia pond, be unconcerned that this article will be deleted (0.9 probability), and be happy when someone else creates it after the software becomes notable. Of course, if you can find the verified notability Wikipedia requires, do add that to the article. Anything else, though, is rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
