Speedy deletion nomination of Swarmcity


A tag has been placed on Swarmcity 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 company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Classicwiki (talk) (ping me please) 01:25, 17 August 2017 (UTC)

Help me!

 * I made my first article about SwarmCity and it was speedily deleted. I'm unclear what should be changed to demonstrate the "notability" of this software.*

Unfortunately, I'm new enough to SwarmCity that I can't figure out how to fully utilize the "Talk" functionality. I want to communicate with Alex Shih about the speedy deletion and get a little more guidance. Obviously from my perspective this first ever, Open Source software platform is highly notable. I need a little guidance or a rubric on what specifically would make it "notable" enough to be Wiki Worthy.
