Hello. Your recent edit appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

 * Hi @MrOllie, I do think that I could create an article for Hackolade Studio. Shall I do that first, and then come back to this? Or do them in parallel? Let me know. Rik Rvanbruggen (talk) 13:49, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Articles on Hackolade have been deleted a couple of times for failing to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. It would be better to spend your time on a subject that has a lower chance of causing your effort to be wasted. MrOllie (talk) 13:53, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I guess I don't understand why some articles on companies info get accepted and some don't. It's not like some of the other tools on the list have 100% objective info behind them... Rvanbruggen (talk) 14:35, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Because some companies do not meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, which is explained in the link embedded in my previous message. Click on the blue text. MrOllie (talk) 14:49, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I had clicked on the link, which points to a Notability page that I understand and totally subscribe to. That's why I am a paying Wikipedia donor - I love that system. I love the guardrails against promotional talk and obvious lies that the community review provides. But for some reason that is totally opaque to me, Hackolade is not deemed worthy of being noticed / included, and has indeed been rejected twice. I don't understand why that is the case when many other companies in the same industry are on the platform. Seems a bit random to me. Rvanbruggen (talk) 14:55, 25 May 2023 (UTC)
