Talk:Hotot (program)

Problems
This article clearly needs to have notability established. I'm likely to nominate this article for deletion if this is not done. Beyond that, I have removed all the unsourced, promotional material. There are some issues with what appears to be original research. Where does this say that progress is apparently being made? --LauraHale (talk) 19:15, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Re: Problems
1- Concerning notability, as it has been referenced, the application has been popular enough to be voted for the "Best Linux Twitter Client". In addition, a significant number of reviews have been written about it in two highly-visited Linux review blogs; i.e. Webupd8 and OMG! Ubuntu!, which satisfies the "significant coverage" by "reliable" "secondary sources" criteria of being included as a standalone article. (Reviews related On OMG Ubuntu and On Webupd8)

2- Concerning relying on primary sources only, the article is about an application that has certain features. So, it's inevitable to refer to primary sources along with secondary ones. For instance in Pidgin article, referring to the official website as a reference for "Further features include support for themes, emoticons, spell checking, and notification area integration.[6 ]" is not against Wikipedia's editing guidelines. The same goes for Firefox and Libre Office referring to a primary source for their Features section.

3- Concerning what you have denoted as "promotional material", again these are features in the application that have to be stated in a Features section with a reference to the official website. Should your concept of denotation be applied to Libre Office for referring to its features and Firefox as well?! Also, there's a Drawbacks section in the same article about missing features to avoid any sense of bias and to provide an objective view.

4- Concerning "..apparently progress is being made", the reference is for Hotot's translation progress viewing the languages being worked on and the number of translated/untranslated expressions for each (click on View all languages), which suggests- expressed as "apparently"- that work is being done to provide the application in different languages.

Depending on the aforementioned, the article will be restored. SchwarzeMelancholie (talk) 17:24, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
