There is nothing to stop you recreating the article, but I would recommend you read the guidelines first and perhaps use Articles for creation to get advice if you are not completely sure what is acceptable. Deb (talk) 20:57, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Personal analytics article
Hello, thanks for writing this article. I have some concerns about it and wanted to discuss then with you.

My main concern is this: is this topic actually notable by Wikipedia standards, meaning discussed extensively in reliable sources? None of the sources use this term - so far it just seems like a buzzword cooked up by IBM's marketing team.

My secondary concern is that much of the text of the article reads like original research and synthesis, both of which aren't allowed on Wikipedia - every fact, sentence by sentence, must be sourced. A claim like:"The added layer of complexity in data aggregation of such information is quickly approaching big data volumes and cloud-scale dimensions. As a result, Personal Analytics platforms are usually built on top of tools that feature elastically scale-out architecture like NoSQL DBs for storage and Apache Spark for computation."would naturally require reliable sources to state that it's true - it can't be based on personal knowledge or opinion.

I'd like to see this article kept, since it sounds like an interesting topic, but it needs way more sources attesting every fact in it to be true and that "personal analytics" is a well-known concept in the healthcare industry and not just a buzzword that Wired magazine are soon going to get all excited about.

Let me know if you have any thoughts about this. Blythwood (talk) 04:31, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Personal Analytics
Hello, Tachtevrenidis. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Personal Analytics, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Blythwood (talk) 04:36, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
