LingoDeer

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Seemingly non-notable app that fails WP:SIGCOV (GNG) and WP:NOTE. A WP:BEFORE check turns up no in-depth sources concerning the subject, and what sources do exist are trival mentions of the app as part of a wider list covering many award winning android apps.

 * Delete Sources trivial. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:56, 3 August 2018 (UTC).


 * Because the app is relatively popular in language learning circles (the Language Learners' Forum and a few groups on Reddit), I thought an entry on Wikipedia might considered. I was wrong. LingoDeer has to go a long way before it is as popular as DuoLingo. Until then, we can keep this article off Wikipedia. Let's delete it. Thank you for reviewing.

 * Delete: There are many mentions, but largely in passing and in blogs and lists. Since the author agrees with deletion, I believe this can be speedied under WP:G7.


 * By the way, there is no need to wait until the app is as popular as Duolinguo, just until it's covered by more than one major news source independent of the app (i.e. not paid promotion or anything). So, one or two reviews by large news sites and it'll be ready. If you're interested in learning more about criteria for inclusion, good articles to consult (for software) are WP:GNG, WP:PRODUCT and WP:NSOFT. If you want to learn more about article creation, there's a dedicated helpdesk where you can ask questions, and submitting your article to Articles for creation will get your new article reviewed by a more experienced editor (though there is about 7 weeks of backlog right now). Thanks for being so understanding, and I hope you have better luck with your next article!&mdash;&#x200A;Alpha3031 (t&middot;c) 11:13, 3 August 2018 (UTC)
