Speedy deletion nomination of Poker Friends


A tag has been placed on Poker Friends, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. Mdann52 (talk) 12:28, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't really see it as advertising; I deleted it as such, but that was a mistake. However, the page still qualified for speedy deletion criterion A7: "An article about a real person, individual animal(s), organization, web content or organized event that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant."  You need to demonstrate that this software is important — after all, most software is too trivial for an encyclopedia article, so you need to show from reliable sources (e.g. trade publications, books, journals) that Poker Friends is a major program and that it passes our inclusion criteria.  Ask me for more details if you want them, and I'll be happy to help; I simply don't want to bury you in information right now, since I don't know what precisely you'd like to know.
