Article Review
To be honest...I didn't pay that close of attention. I have reviewed almost 200 pages in the last 3 days to help with the backlog and just didn't realize the differences. The article is ready for main space and I will go ahead and publish it. What I will do is rename it so it has (art form) after the name as the already established article is the technique from what I am reading. Thanks for bringing that to my attention and I'm glad we can get it published for you. Have a great day! Chris1834 (talk) 22:11, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Plutora


A tag has been placed on Plutora, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate,. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello, Ilan Y Mintz. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article Plutora, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your circle, your organization, its competitors, projects or products;
 * instead propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 11:12, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Re:Plutora
The specific reason the article was deleted was because it too closely resembled the version deleted by AFD discussion back in May of 2015. If an article is deleted in a deletion discussion then reappears at or near its original version then the article ends up summarily deleted due to the current and previous version bearing little difference from each other. When the article went through its original afd the chief compliant was an absence of 3rd party sources to demonstrate notability and significance of the material being covered, which made the article read too much like an advertisement or promotion for the group. Stated more simply, the article relied too much on its own website for information which lead to the perception that the material on Wikipedia was being used to promote Plutora.

As for rebuilding the article, that will be tricky here because the material was deleted via an afd deletion. For the article to return and have any chance at remaining on Wikipedia, it would have to be rebuilt in such a way that it shares little if anything in common with the version that was deleted in 2015. That means no similarities between the wording of the paragraphs, no reliance on the companies website and press releases for information, and most importantly a clear demonstration of the significance and notability of the company. If these three things could be done that the article may have a chance to remain here - although I'll be honest with you and state that from where I sit even if the above three conditions were met right now there would probably still be another afd deletion request asking for the community to weigh in on whether the article should remain on here. The subject seems a little too narrow at present to have a fighting chance to remain on Wikipedia, but don't let that discourage you from trying. I've been wrong about these things before.

If you are going to move forward with rebuilding the article I would recommend that you work on it within the Articles for Creation section on Wikipedia. That way an independent third party can offer advice and suggestions on the article as it grows and can point out anything that may get the article deleted again. If you do in fact decide to go this route I would be happy to restore the article and move it to an AFC sandbox so you can work on what you had at the time of article's deletion - but be forewarned that if the material restored in this manner reappears in the article space at or near its deleted formed it will be axed again.

 * Done and done. You can find the article at Draft:Plutora. Good luck with your rewrite, and hopeful this time it'll be accepted for publication. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:39, 6 March 2016 (UTC)
