Status and Advice
Mike, it is not considered advisable to move your own article from AfC into mainspace, because then you do not get the benefit of the criticism that is provided by the AfC reviewer. The article was listed by another editor for speedy deletion as promotional, As the administrator reviewing these deletions, I agreed, and have deleted the article. But it is possible that a satisfactory article could be written. Here is some advice:

First. a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with 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. If you have such sources, it may be possible to rewrite the article; otherwise, it will not be possible to write an acceptable article. The sources in the submitted articles were all from either press releases or sources associated with the Society that sponsored the project. It is necessary to have some from other sources, such as articles in journals discussing the project from an external point of view. If the project is so new they are not yet available, you need to wait until they do appear. Second, a Wikipedia article needs to be written like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise the project or recite its advantages,  say what it is. Don't talk about the overall importance of the subject--talk about what has been accomplished. Don't use trademark symbols--our style is to omit them. Don't repeat the name of the project or its components, and don't use bold face except for the first mention of the article subject. And most important of all, remember not to copy from a web site, even your own -- first it's a copyright violation, but, even if you own the copyright and are willing to give us permission according to WP:DCM (permission that irrevocably gives everyone in the world the right to copy, reuse, and modify the material), the tone will not be encyclopedic and the material will not be suitable. (Thus, there is generally no purpose in giving permission; it is better to rewrite.)

Include only material that would be of interest to a general reader coming across the mention of the subject and wanting the sort of information that would be found in an encyclopedia. Do not include material that would be of interest only to those associated with the subject, or to prospective users--that sort of content is considered promotional.

If you try again, do it through the WP:Article Wizard.  DGG ( talk ) 23:35, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
