Proposed deletion of Vivaldi features history


The article Vivaldi features history has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * not notable list of features. Unsourced and does not meet WP:NSOFT

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. noq (talk) 11:58, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I don't understand the reason of deleting. Actually, it's absolutely the same history list as for Chrome:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome#Version_history

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_version_history

What's wrong? Version history and features history is important for users, but in the current Vivaldi browser article I don't see any information about it. Thus, I insist to keep this page. Please, explain your opinion.

Deletion discussion about Vivaldi version history
Hello, Shpankov,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Vivaldi version history should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Articles for deletion/Vivaldi version history.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

Issuing level 1 warning about removing AfD template from articles before the discussion is complete. (Peachy 2.0 (alpha 8))
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Vivaldi version history. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.—cyberbot I  Talk to my owner :Online 13:39, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Shpankov. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. 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. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

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. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged 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, broadly construed, 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:Shpankov. 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. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Salvio giuliano 20:33, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I absolutely don't understand what are you talking about. I work in Vivaldi Technologies and after the each stable release I add information about this version and new features. The main article was created not by me, I just add the fresh data about releases. What's wrong? Shpankov (talk) 21:14, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * The fact that you work for Vivaldi Technologies means you have a WP:COI and you are required by the Terms of Use to disclose that you are receiving indirect compensation for your edits. — Salvio giuliano 22:03, 8 April 2023 (UTC)
 * I do not receive any compensation for helping the authors of the article get up-to-date information about new browser versions. Neither direct nor indirect. Whether I add information about the new version or not, my personal income does not change in any way, in principle. I have been doing this on my own initiative, for many years now, to keep the information on Wikipedia up to date and increase the value of Wikipedia itself.
 * Even more - you are suggesting that I provide some personal information on a page that doesn't even exist. And you suggest that I write false information that does not correspond to reality - after all, I do not receive a cent for what I do. From no one. If anyone, even you, adds correct information to Wikipedia from the area in which you work, then this will also mean indirectly receiving payment for your work, if we will follow your logic :-) Shpankov (talk) 08:08, 9 April 2023 (UTC)
