User talk:Waph

helpme I wrote a page from a very neutral point of view but it has been deleted. I wanted to create a page on our software Autopano Pro and I wrote something like our competitors, PTgui for example. I don't understand why my page has been deleted.
 * It was deleted for the folowing reason:


 * Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote some entity and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company or product as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion.
 * You can contact the person who deleted your article here. He can give you a copy of the article so your don't have to write it all out again. When you leave a message, remember to be civil and sign your post. If you need any more help, feel free to contact me on my talk page. Tiddly  -  Tom  10:11, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Logo app.jpg
Thank you for uploading Image:Logo app.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 09:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Autopano Pro (software), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Roguegeek (talk) 10:31, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Autopano Pro (software)
Essentially, the two issues are notability, and encyclopedic nature. This article has been deleted three times because it didn't meet one or other of these criteria. The simplest issue is that of notability. There are thousands of photo-editing programs available, few of which are notable enough to be written about. Remember, Wikipedia is not about everything, but only those topics which are notable enough to justify an article. Wikipedia accepts that most topics are important to someone, so the inclusion criteria at WP:Notability requires that it be shown that Reliable sources have covered the topic in a "non trivial" fashion. This usually means that, in your instance, a software program must have done something more than just being a software program. Reviews of programs are not considered non-trivial coverage: appropriate coverage would be if it had won major awards, been employed by some notable group/project because of some unique feature of the software (ie the reliable source coverage covers the reasons why they chose this software over others), etc. In this case, you might be able to make something of it having been used to stitch one of the largest phtos in the world: this should really be a focus of the article. You need to say how it was used, you absolutely have to say why, and everything has to be referenced to reliable sources. This stuff should be the focus of the article - it has to be balanced, so you do need to mention the history and briefly describe its features (which should be in prose form, not a list), but these sections should be small in comparison to the notable information. Writing a lot about these sections in comparison to the others is why your article has been judged to be too much like advertising. If you can do these things, there's no reason why you can't write an acceptable article. Happy‑melon 11:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The article looks like it addresses all of the policies now. Nice job! Roguegeek (talk) 18:36, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That's an excellent and durable start-class article. Well done! Happy‑melon 22:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
