Divination 5 article

Just being curious, article you deleted (Divination 5) did not violate any Wikipedia rules of the article as I tried to make it as neutral as I could, so what was this article deleted? Article about this CMS had same standards as any other article about other similar CMS:s but they were not deleted? I'm requesting restoration and little bit of explanation Dedaman

It was deleted because it did not assert notability, and it could also be viewed as advertising. Basically, articles need to answer the question, "Why does this matter?", not, "How many features does this have?" I hope this helps. --Fang Aili ^talk 13:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes it answers some part of it, although this was not meant to be any way of adversiting, only wanted to add article of this system to the continuum of the CMS articles as I understand it is in some parties considered to be one of the most advanced CMS systems when it will be released to the open source. Wikipedia still holds without grunt multiple articles of the less known software as this was. As for the "Why does this matter" question, answer would be that as wikipedia intends to be free encyclopedia of knowledge, it should be open to accept information about similar and known subjects as it already holds (as in this, adding this article about some of known CMS to the categories of the other CMSs) for public to know and learn. I understand that in this area i'm rookie, but I really did not know how to be more neutral. Dedaman 13:53, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

It was pretty neutral, and that's great. The problem is that Wikipedia attempts to be an encyclopedia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. We don't accept articles on every garage band, every corner store, or every software program. (I realize that there are probably lots of non-notable subjects with articles, but no one has taken the time to delete them yet.) Supposing Divination 5 is released and becomes widely used, and receives press attention, then we can consider an article. I hope this makes sense! Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 14:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Sadly, your reasonigs are too good to be debated against. Mainly sadly because used quite some much of time for that article and did not spare the text anywhere, but I understand Wikipedia's policy, although, cannot agreed it fully since collection of human knowledge should contain all information, not only those what it may consider to be useful. But anyway, no (too) hard feelings. You're doing only your job. Dedaman 14:09, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

If you'd like a copy of the article, just send me an email! (Use the link in the left-hand column.)

I know what you mean about containing all information -- the debate about what should and should not be included in Wikipedia is always ongoing. There are many alternatives to Wikipedia though. Have you heard of Wikia? I'd bet there's a computer-subjects wiki out there. Cheers, Fang Aili ^talk 14:21, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
