Speedy deletion nomination of ClipDifferent
Hello Jfosterbolton,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged ClipDifferent for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

 * As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article. On the now deleted talk p. you said : the importance of it is to make people aware of an invention for differently-abled people that helps them clip their nails. However, this is an encyclopedia, and making people aware of new things is promotion, which is not that an encyclopedia does. Rather, once people are already aware of it and are writing about it in references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements , then there will be the possibility of an article.

Hey DDG - that makes sense to me! Thanks for taking the time to look through and provide feedback. Jfosterbolton (talk) 15:45, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Hey DDG and Meatsgains - Back in October DDG wrote, "making people aware of new things is promotion, which is not that an encyclopedia does.

As of now there has been a lot of writing on Clip different and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to write another page using the 10 or so new digital references that are out there. Let me know. Jfosterbolton (talk) 15:36, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to ClipDifferent. I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!
