Contested deletion

i have written only one sentence without any matérial previously deleted by other. it is my own creation with my own sources. i have put 2 sources that are correct i think (the first as a good alexia rank http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/indiatimes.com) --Vatadoshu^french 14:12, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neither source meets WP:RS. The product is not notable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:17, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not notable? It is difficult to prove notability of automation tools. There are not stars or actors of movies. Appium is well known in automation tool like selenium RC or selenium Driver or selenium IDE (Selenium_(software)).

Walter GörlitzI think it is notable and well known in the domain of automation. Really many people use it http://www.indeed.com/jobs?q=appium&l=. But ok, i don't know how to prove that it is notable, because it is like selenium and i couldn't prove that selenium is notable anymore. Vatadoshu^french 14:30, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The previous AfD in 2013 did not find any reliable sources to prove it was notable. I still can't find any. I suggest you follow WP:AfC instead. The database entry does not indicate that the product is notable, only that it exists. The self-published book (see Packt) might help, but that's only one source.

sorry i don't understand you say "WP:AfC " but what is the difference betwwen writing one sentence directly published in wikipedia and writing one sentence and submit it to review by some pair that will say i can or i can not publish my sentence. (i don't want to create an article). WP:AfC is for publishing in wikipedia at the end no? (if i could prove notability by indeed or youtube https://www.youtube.com/results?q=appium&sp=SLQB6gMA) Vatadoshu^french 14:53, 11 October 2016 (UTC) or the "WP:AfC" have not the purpose to publish the article in wikipedia, just to store it anywhere? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vatadoshu (talk • contribs) 14:56, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The difference is that an AfC allows for time for the article to grow and a neutral editor will comment on whether the article can be promoted to main space or not. Alternately, you could move the article (or copy it as it currently exists) to a sub-page in your personal space. Again, that means it's not in main space and can be worked on as a draft article until it meets notability requirements. Walter Görlitz (talk) 15:00, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Walter Görlitz i understand but i don't want to grow this article. i just want to say an apple is a fruit. and ok, if it does not meet criteria delete it. one day, it will meat criteria perhaps.

Walter GörlitzI have added the awards in the article. But if it is not sufficient. It is ok for deletion.Vatadoshu^french 15:26, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined

I've declined the speedy deletion because of changed circumstances since the original AfD in 2013: "Appium win in 2014 the Bossie award of InfoWord about the best open source desktop and mobile software." This doesn't mean the subject is now automatically notable - but it does merit a new discussion if notability is still challenged. --Tóraí (talk) 17:45, 11 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
