Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

 * @MrOllieThank you for your diligence.
 * Ciw does not have a page yet. I already had a draft in the works, but I think there is a queue with a few hundred such submitted requests ahead of mine. I will have to wait. If you can spare some time on it, please provide any feedback on how I can improve that article. GalenSeilis (talk) 17:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Your draft will almost certainly be declined as it is, because you have not satisfied WP:GNG, Wikipedia's basic criteria for inclusion. The reflist is full of redundant cites to the documentation, which isn't helping. You should consolidate all of those, and remove other self published sources (in particular citing your own blog is a big problem). And then you must locate and add at least 3 reliable sources (see WP:RS) which have been written and published completely independently of the authors of Ciw. You should also have a look at our guidelines on editing with a conflict of interest - many of the edits you have been making are against that policy. MrOllie (talk) 17:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for that appraisal. I'm disappointed, but I agree that the article doesn't seem like a good fit for Wikipedia given the criteria you cited.
 * It sounds like I am ineligible to contribute anything to Wikipedia related to Ciw. I would like to migrate that draft's content to my blog and delete the submitted draft.
 * Is there a way to cancel/delete the draft? GalenSeilis (talk) 17:51, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

 * If you'd like to delete your draft, you can do so by adding the text to the top of the page. MrOllie (talk) 18:03, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @MrOllie That worked; page is now flagged for deletion. Thank you. GalenSeilis (talk) 18:09, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
