Talk:Sheetster

I do not understand what it advertising in nature about this article. It is descriptive, explanatory and technical. I am technical writer ans used other references posted on Wikipedia of other software companies products that have been approved as a template e.g. excel, alfresco software. Sheetster wiki article explains the technology and functionality of an open source community built and maintained product. We are not promoting the product, just defining it, if there is some marketing jargon in there, please let me know, as I am unable to identify any language as such.Colette27 (talk)

I am contesting this deletion. This is a non-adverstisement for an open source spreadsheet product. There is no commercial or sales language in the article, furthermore it closely matches the style and substance of many other software products listed in Wikipedia.

Sheetster is an open source web spreadsheet product publicly available from sourceforge:

It is totally unfair to deny the publication of the basic information about this spreadsheet when you plainly support the publishing of the following competing commercial products:

EditGrid: EditGrid Google Docs: Google_docs Microsoft Excel: Excel

As Wikipedia is an open source project itself, I find it hard to fathom that you would tag a benign article about an OPEN SOURCE product such Sheetster for being "commercial" while allowing articles on actual COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS to thrive.

Please explain how the Sheetster article quantitatively and qualitatively differs from the artiles about these competing products, and why the article about Sheetster -- an open source product -- is somehow commercial, while the article about Excel (from Microsoft, the most profitable software company in the world) is not.
