Speedy deletion nomination of APUS Launcher
Hello Oloba007,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged APUS Launcher for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can 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. ubiquity (talk) 14:35, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for email. I'll reply here in detail, but it might not be for a couple of days since I'm busy in RL over the weekend. Don't recreate in the meantime, but note that it may be possible to recreate in a user subpage for improvement once I've explained the problems Jimfbleak - talk to me?  09:20, 11 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for email. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Your references where all linked to the company, no independent sources. The claim that would make it notable, the number of downloads, has no independent verification.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. The list of features is entirely unsurced, and makes unsubstantiated claims like ''this is one of the most used features in APUS Launcher... According to APUS(!), it can intelligently push useful information like weather, traffic, etc. to users.

Your edits indicate that you have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. Thank you for declaring your interest. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

The nature of your edits also gives the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a black hat practice. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message.

It's not the worse I've seen, and if you want to try again with proper references, I'll post the deleted text to a user subpage for you to work on, just let me know. You must reply to the query above first though. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:11, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
