EduTechnoz

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable website (CSD-A7). promotional bio  for Diana Al Dajani masquerading  as an article. The article is ostensibly a commissioned work. The tag-bombing does not  confer notability. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:30, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Thank you for your feedback. I went back and edited out any mention of Diana Al Dajani so that it won't sound like a promotional bio for her. I also took out some references that may be redundant. I've been interested in education for a long time and thought, since eduTechnoz has been mentioned in the press a lot lately and has actually revolutionized the way children can learn Arabic (there aren't a lot of online games out there for learning the Arabic language), that it deserves a page. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to improve the page.Nadiaqas (talk) 17:14, 28 August 2016 (UTC)Nadiaqas
 * I made more edits to the tone of the article: replaced promotional-sounding words with more generic/factual ones. I believe it sounds much better now. eduTechnoz is notable and all the information provided is verifiable through multiple media outlets. If there is anything else I can change to make it better, please let me know. Thanks! Nadiaqas (talk) 17:08, 29 August 2016 (UTC)Nadiaqas

 * Delete Available sources do not satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Interviews with Al-Dajani are not independent, and press releases carry no weight when determining notability. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 17:17, 8 September 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - There's just not quite enough coverage to satisfy WP:CORPDEPTH. Wouldn't object to Userfying/Draftyifying if the creator thinks it will receive coverage moving forward that might increase its notability. The problem with the sources is that they're almost all connected to one of the organizations involved. This looks to be a press release, for example, and many sources reprinted this press release from the Qatar Foundation. There's some coverage of this competition, and this award, but coverage is mostly limited to sources connected to the awards/involved parties, brief mentions, or are about the founder, not EduTechnoz. This looks pretty good, but it's not enough. Sort of in response to the comment above, interviews most definitely do contribute to notability -- if it's significant coverage, about the subject of the article (rather than the person), and conducted by an independent source. There are limits to what primary sources (like the words of the founder) can be used in the article, but a journalist/editor/publication deciding someone is noteworthy enough to interview them is the sort of thing we're looking for to assess notability (it's significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject [one can be independent of the subject while interviewing them])... but there's just not enough. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

The Peninsula: Qatar's Daily Newspaper Gulf Times Tristate Update (Powered by 13 News - WOWK) Your guidance is much appreciated! Nadiaqas (talk) 15:44, 11 September 2016 (UTC)Nadiaqas
 * Thank you for your feedback! I did more research and found more independent sources talking about EduTechnoz. I list some below. Please let me know if those sources meet your standards and I will add them to the article:
 * Unfortunately, these appear to all be reprintings or excerpts of the same press releases. The Peninsula and Gulf-Times are on PR Newswire here, and Tristate Update even credits PR Newswire. Sorry to say, what we need are sources that are independent of the subject, actual reporting/journalism/analysis of the organization beyond printing the organization's (or related organizations') own words. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 16:30, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
