Re: Cotonti CMS deleted

What you're saying is that because something is new it doesn't meet your high standards? Don't hold a double standard simply because you don't know what certain things are. I understand being all powerful on Wikipedia makes you some form of super hero, but seriously. I'll link you to Wikipedia's own spam definition just to further prove my point. This article had content, explanations, and cited sources. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spam_(electronic)#Blog.2C_wiki.2C_and_guestbook_spam.

I apologize for my irritation.

I'll kindly ask that you replace the article as soon as possible. I thank you for your assistance in this matter, and thank you for your dedicated support to Wikipedia. Jslowik 19:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

The reference for spam that you provided is not the relevant one; the one dealing with deleting advertising material is here:

Blatant advertising. Pages that exclusively promote some entity and that would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic.

The article in question (Cotonti) met the above definition, and was deleted as such. The "cited sources" you mention were all links to the software maker's own website, so it is disingenuous of you to suggest the article was well cited. Please review our policies before posting advertising material here. I would also appreciate if you abstain from personal attacks; such behaviour here will achieve nothing.

My apologies for the personal attacks. Frustration. Removed. One of our links was a reference to a very well known and respected community (Neocrome.net) which developed the Seditio and LDU engines that Cotonti is based off of. If you'll reinstate the article (giving the author more than a few hours to edit the page) I will give you no fewer than two additional references, none of which are the maker's website. A look at my history on Wikipedia will show you that I'm not interested in spam. And once again I offer my sincere apologies. Thank you.

Fair enough. I have restored and moved the article to your own user space so you can work on it peacefully and bring it to an acceptable encyclopedic level. Once it is ready, please contact me or another admin to move it back to the main article space (don't attempt a "cut and paste move"!). Please be aware that even after the advertising tone issue is taken care of, you will still face a much bigger problem of establishing notability. Without proven notability, your article will likely be nominated for deletion, and removed within a week or so. Owen× ☎ 20:07, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
