Speedy deletion nomination of SigmaGraph

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Happy New Year! :) (talk) 13:05, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of SigmaGraph


A tag has been placed on SigmaGraph, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. BiH (talk) 13:06, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Please read Notability, Verifiability, Neutral point of view, and Conflict of interest. Deb (talk) 15:30, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

I contest this decision. There are many software description in Wikipedia, written most probably by the sofrware authors themselves and you did not delete any of them. What I wrote was a simple description of a software used by thousands of researchers, in order to give a little (and non promotional as you stated!) information about it. I use my real name and I wrote to you clearly and honestly that I am the developer of this program. Is it better to be dishonest in order to be accepted in Wikipedia ? And, as I stated, many software pages in Wikipedia are really and visibly promotional without beeing deleted or even modified. Is there two or more standards ?


 * Can you provide evidence that it is used by thousands of researchers? If so, why didn't you include this evidence in the references for the article? Deb (talk) 15:49, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

SigmaGraph is used by thousands of researchers, based on the number of downloads in some well known sites like cnet.com and softpedia.com. If I include the number of downloads from my own site (logimath.com), the number of downloads will be much higher, and this number will be still underestimated since it is very difficult to quantify the mainstream software users basis since there is no 'Market' or 'Store' for Windows (not yet) and the channels are very heteregeneous. For the applications I developped for Android (scientific calculator SigmaCalculator and Lua programming IDE SigmaScript) I have precise statistics, of course. I didn't provide any stats since my goal was only to provide small description as objectively as possible and without any promotional materials.
