Qualcomm Snapdragon

 * ... that Qualcomm Snapdragon got its name because it "sounded fast and fierce"?

 * I am the author of the article and I have a financial connection with the product's developer (Qualcomm). My understanding is that it's considered inappropriate for COI editors to nominate their own works for DIY, because in the past it has been abused as a method of getting exposure on Wikipedia's main page excessively. Even though I did not myself make this DIY nomination, I wish to voice my opposition for it, because I am concerned it will lead to unnecessary COI-drama. Also, DIYs are suppose to be motivational tools to give editors a pat on the back for doing good work, whereas I am paid for my work and do not require such soft incentives. All I ask for from the community is AGF, civility, freedom from harassment, and help when a disruptive editor prevents article improvement, etc.. These kinds of rewards should be reserved for the volunteers that are donating their free time. CorporateM (Talk) 22:12, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

Article expander (that's the correct term; yes, it is) wishes to withdraw the nomination; seems like a smart idea based on the above rationale. Belle (talk) 08:17, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
