Your submission at Articles for creation: Bluefish (software) (May 23)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by DreamRimmer was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
reliable
secondary
independent of the subject

Dear DreamRimmer,

the Bluefish wikipedia page was created almost 20 years ago. It is translated in 21 languages. Of those 21, the english article is the best and most comprehensive. Only recently it came to my attention it was soft deleted because it did did not meet the quality standards.

I've looked at many other editors from the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_text_editors and the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_HTML_editors to get a feel for the required quality standards. In my humble opinion the Bluefish article is perhaps not the best, but is at least part of the best 50% of the editor articles (if not the top 25%). Why are those editors listed - many of them commercial instead of open source, many of them not so bound to the history of the Linux desktop? And why is the Bluefish article soft deleted and after my improvement attempts still not good enough? I can accept that it is not good enough, but it is hard to accept if all those other editor articles are below the quality.

Can you please help with suggestions how to improve? Or maybe compare the quality to the other listed editors and see if it meets the quality standard that is commonly accepted for editors?

I hope you can help me with this. It feels very frustrating.
