Your submission at Articles for creation: IssueTrak issue tracking software (April 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by NickW557 was:

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:IssueTrak issue tracking software and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Explaining

I patrolled your page. I went through the enormously-backlogged list of newly-created pages and confirmed that your page was okay: not spam, not an attack page, not a copyright violation, not any of the other reasons for which I would delete someone's page without asking. Then I clicked "patrolled" to remove it from the list of "pages that have not yet been patrolled", and moved on to the next entry. That's all. DS (talk) 16:45, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Response to your message on my talk page

Hi SoftwareNinja, and thanks for your message! I had to look up what this was about since I didn't remember the article in question. I tagged Buffalo747's article for deletion because it was essentially the same article as one that had been deleted after a deletion discussion, and just as you observe, IssueTrak had been protected from re-creation.

However, I did not tag the draft article for deletion - those notes were left by other editors (in fact, one automated bot and one human editor, from what I can tell from User talk:Buffalo747). And it seems that that draft, Draft:IssueTrak, has already been deleted, back in January, so you don't need to worry about duplicating their work.

I see that you have used the Articles for Creation process to create a new article, which is a good idea. However, you should also bring this up with the administrator who deleted IssueTrak after a deletion discussion - that's ItsZippy, whose user talk page is here. The capitalisation issue can wait until the article is accepted and live - at that point, the original title can probably be unprotected by an administrator so the article can move there.

But as I say, start by contacting ItsZippy, and mention that the article in question was deleted in this discussion. Hope this helps somewhat. Cheers, --bonadea contributions talk 21:12, 16 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
