Welcome!

Hello, Oalvarez0, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Flora (App)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Flora (App) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Loksmythe (talk) 05:04, 7 April 2020 (UTC)

Article deletion

Hi, I wanted to explain why the article was deleted.

• The article used only primary sources to back up claims, as they were written by the company who designed the app, people they hired, or people they're otherwise affiliated with. Primary sources are OK for basic, non-major claims, but they cannot establish notability. Topics aren't automatically notable, so it's very important to be able to establish notability.

• Be careful of wording, as it's important to avoid any subjective or non-neutral prose. For example, stating that the app has "an aesthetic and appeasing design" is a personal judgement and one that may not be universal to all users. Some may argue that it's the opposite. At the very least stating this can come across like we're trying to persuade the reader to see the app in a specific light.

• I'm concerned about notability, as a quick search doesn't bring up much as far as independent reliable sources go.

I hope that this helps explain why it was removed! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:27, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
