Speedy deletion nomination of Party Center Software


A tag has been placed on Party Center Software requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Cind. amuse  17:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I didn't delete the article, because it was about the product, not the company, and articles about products do not fall under speedy deletion. But they can be deleted a little less speedily if they shown no notability, and I've proposed it for deletion, unless it gets improved

You first need to decide if you want the article to be about the product or the company. If the company has produced other major products, the best course may be to write about the company, and the product name can be a redirect ( cross reference). If this is the major product, it the article should be about the product. I don't advise trying both--at least not until you get one established.

In either case, the product or company has to show notability which is defined in WP:N. In practice, it means having multiple references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. For software, the requirement is usually met by product reviews from published sources, substantial independent product reviews, not listing prepared from press releases. This can be hard to do for niche software, but there usually are industry magazines. For the company, there need, similarly, to be articles about it. It also helps to have information about market share, and so on, but it needs to be referenced.

Do not go into extensive product details: just the systems it runs on and integrates with and the overall capabilities. Don't emphasize special feature that everyone else has also.

If you do not have the necessary references now, the best course is to withdraw the article: you can facilitate matters by placing at the top a line reading :. When you have the necessary material, then try again. If, however, you can improve the article sufficiently you may remove the proposed deletion tag, but if anyone thinks it inadequate, it will be nominated for a deletion discussion.
