Hi, thanks for message. Following its nomination for speedy deletion by another editor, I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the software company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. You gave no references of any kind. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * I couldn't find any mention of the app in Google books, Google news, or Google scholar, so it's doubtful that it meets the notability criteria linked above. Even a straight Google search finds little other than its own website, just one off thousands of non-notable apps.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: is available for most modern devices, including Windows, macOS, and Linux computers, as well as iOS, Windows Phone and Android smartphones and tablets&mdash; your only content is what it does and how you can use it.
 * I notice that your image was deleted separately from Commons as a copyright violation. Copyrighted text and images not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text or image is public domain. We require that text and images posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied site allows free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the image, isn't sufficient. The only way the logo could be used would be under a fair use rationale, but that's not acceptable for Commons-hosted images
 * If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. You give the impression that you are just a user, but if you work directly or indirectly for the software company, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you must reveal that, and I'll advise you what you then need to do. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

We often restore deleted text on request, but there is little factual content and I don't think this app meets our notability criteria, so little point in restoring for it to be deleted again. Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:33, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello, first, the cited text bothered me, because you are stating that this is not a fact... well but it is. It is avaible for most modern devices. I can't figure out how this is "promotional"? Also, as you said there aren't many sources about this app, but it's legit. I didn't write a lot, but hey, it was my first article and not everything must be so long. :)

As for the rest: thruth to be told, any app that doesn't have tons of cash won't be postet anywhere in the papers etc. because those articles about companies and products pretty much are all sponsored, and you probably know that. And not everything can be linked to some "source" because if I create something it is mine, and only mine work, not somebody elses. Some things are written from "inside of mind". That's why we created a civilization as a species ;) there is always something that nobody done before. To put it in other words - what is the source of the source? Offcourse you can put a source as a link from article from for example, NY Times, but what is the source of that article? Nothing, it is directly a journalists creation, probably from press materials that creators gave them or direct observations from usage of the "product". So it's just the same as I did!

So truth to be told, if in this encyclopedia I can put only articles about things that are already very well explored and brands or products that are super-famous, what's the point? It's obvious that if you are multi million dollar company, you can hire someone who will write a detailed article on wiki to boost your statistics. So in all due respect I think your points are all wrong. I'm starting to think that the only reason it was deleted it's because it's not so widely known as "Microsoft" etc, but I'm pretty sure if it would be a part of this company for example, there wouldn't be any problem. About the "speedy deletion" I just couldn't figure out how to put company logo, only place where I could do this were "commons". Seems I've made mistake, sorry about that... but still I don't know how put a picture here, not commons. :) Anyway, I had other articles in mind but well, I'm a little disappointed about this situation...ExpertSender (talk) 16:46, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

Linkspam
Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to paraphrase. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.

In a nutshell, don't link to sites that you're affiliated with. Propose the links on the talk pages. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:16, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
