Speedy deletion nomination of GCalcD


A tag has been placed on GCalcD requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. 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 web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 19:12, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. MrOllie (talk) 17:45, 2 October 2009 (UTC) From iGraph: Relevant external links are added to a list that already contains external links. Check the page before editing/deleting particular external links. Here is the existing section of the page:

Graphing Calculators
Graphing calculators are used to visually depict the relationship between variables in either two or three dimensions.

After my edition it looks like this:

Online Graphing Calculators
The following online graphing calculators are primarily used to graph functions in one or two variables in Cartesian coordinate systems. Some are capable to graph equations and handle other types of graphs both in Cartesian and Polar coordinate system. Whould you explain what seems to be the problem?

 * See the guidelines on conflict of interest, external linking, and spam. As I said above, persistent spammers will be blocked and may have their websites placed on the blacklist. - MrOllie (talk) 18:11, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Would you please explain what makes the other links relevant and why the link to gCalcD is not? It is an all purpose (2D) online graphing calculator as you can check the website.IGraph (talk) 18:47, 2 October 2009 (UTC)


 * First, see other stuff exists, just because those links are there presently does not necessarily mean they are appropriate. Secondly, those other site owners are not linking their site on numerous other articles, for example [this]. Kindly stop. - MrOllie (talk) 18:54, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

1. As you can see from the above tables, the gCalcD is the most notable link relating to online graphing calculators. Without it, the (first) table is almost completely filled with all "no's" which does not look good. The section of the page clearly needs improvement. The most relevant improvement can be achieved by listing the gCalcD (second table), as you can search the internet and find out that the gCalcD is a unique online graphing calculator with functionality that other online graphing calculators lack.

2. Being the most versatile graphing calculator on the web, the gCalcD can be listed in other relevant pages. For example, gCalcD is the only "equation grapher" on the web, that can truly graph any well-defined equation, so it can safely be listed in the article about Equation and in other relevant articles that makes the page more useful for the users.

So, actually, deletion of the links to gCalcD is not, by any means, justifiable. The links to gCalcD are not spasm and do not use promotional language. The deletion of gCalcD not only impairs the table visually, but also makes the page less useful to the wiki viewers and can be regarded as an act of vandalism if deletion continues. Generally speaking, the page about online graphing calculators needs a lot of improvement.

So, it would be most appropriate if the gCalcD is included in the relevant sections.

I shall include all relevant links to gCalcD and make other improvements to the relevant pages after 36 hours. There has been no logically acceptable argument for deletion of links to the gCalcD in pages related to mathematics which is known to be the only science which is 100% logical.

Any objections should be cited within the above time period (if more time needed, please feel free to extend it, just notify me). Please don't overuse shortcuts to policy and guidelines. Be specific: please cite any policy you refer to support your action and explain in detail how it relates to deletion of the links to gCalcD and why the policy does not apply to the existing links. IGraph (talk) 12:04, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Just read the policies I've already referenced. If after doing that you decide to continue adding the links, others will get involved and we'll have to see what happens. - MrOllie (talk) 10:59, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. As you said, I will do whatever is needed to improve the pages. IGraph (talk) 11:52, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Comparison of online calculators
The description Graphing calculators are used to visually depict the relationship between variables in either two or three dimensions

is more appropriate for the articles relating to Graph.

The visitors, who want to find out about graphing calculators, already know what graphs are. They want to know what type of graphs a graphing calculator can handle, and in what type of coordinate system. That's why the table heading are there. So the description

The following online graphing calculators are primarily used to graph functions in one or two variables in Cartesian coordinate systems. Some are capable to graph equations and handle other types of graphs both in Cartesian and Polar coordinate system.

is much more precise and as such should not have been replaced.

Therefore, the related section is edited for the sake of improving the wikipedia pages.

More appropriate links will be added later.

The first description can safely be omitted, but I still leave it there replacing "Graphing calculators" with "Graphs". IGraph (talk) 12:47, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

The title for "General Purpose Calculators" should be changed to "Basic/Scientific calculators". Among the calculators listed, only the Google's calculator can truly handle roots. For example, the 3rd root of -8 is equal to -2. But when you type in (-8)^(1/3) no other calculator in the list gives the correct answer. IGraph (talk) 13:35, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Because all calculators do simple operations, the table heading "Simple operators" is redundant and is, therefore, deleted. IGraph (talk) 13:35, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

The link to gCalcD is restored, as being the most notable online graphing calculator, having innovative features, and the only fully implemented 2D graphing calculator on the web. To verify this, search the internet and compare. In addition, a column heading "data set" is inserted, for graphing tabular (numerical) data. IGraph (talk) 09:41, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

A new page named Roots of a Function is created. It relates to solving one-variable equations. An advanced feature that graphing calculators (as being scientific calculators) should have. IGraph (talk) 10:28, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Some edit done. More will be done later. IGraph (talk) 17:43, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you insert advertising or a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia. --Hu12 (talk) 17:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

From IGraph: Online Function Grapher is a version of the gCalcD graphing calculator specifically programmed for graphing functions. It's the most accurate function grapher on the web. Because viewers interested in graphs are naturally interested in software that produce them the link has been added. It is not a spam link, as you can check the website.

The links to the website http://www.calculator-grapher.com should not have been deleted.

You have been from editing for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Abecedare (talk) 14:25, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
