Speedy deletion of Zoiper article (Copied from here)
Zoiper is the second most popular SIP softphone and Wikipedia contains tons of articles about much less popular applications that actually perform the same job but with less functionalities, like the ones listed in:
 * Comparison of VoIP software
 * List of SIP software

Do you have experience with VoIP telephony, particularly VoIP software? Why do administrators delete my article on different grounds every time? If there were no other articles about softphone applications in Wikipedia, I would've considered "No reasonable assertion of importance/significance" as logical. Now I see it as prejudice and harassment towards my article particularly. Please reconsider your speedy deletion. I see no reason why a respected online encyclopedia should not display an article about a respected software in the Internet telephony world. Thank you! -- Miranda George 15:03, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Zoiper does not appear popular enough for any relialbe sources (e.g., newspapers or books) to spend their money publishing information about Zoiper. Wikipedia's original research policy essentially makes any personal experience with VoIP software useless when developing a Wikipedia article on the topic. Wikipedia articles should be based on material in reliable sources that are independent of the subject so that an attributable article may be written on the topic. See General notability guideline. People typically use information from newspaper articles and books for their Wikipedia article. Material published by Zoiper or published under Zoiper's control is not independent of Zoiper. Try building a draft article in your userspace at Zoiper(draft) using information from newspaper articles, books, etc. Once you feel that you have an article that meets Wikipedia's five article standards requirements, follow the steps to list a new deletion review and request that the Zoiper be restored using your draft article as the material for the Zoiper Wikipedia article. Best wishes. --  Jreferee   T / C  16:46, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
