Request reason:

Open Source projects rely on the principles of transparency, as Wikipedia itself. Denying an article for a well known open source project released under the Apache license is basically a violation of Wikipedias own values and not a self promotion. 91.141.71.68 (talk) 21:52, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

While we are certainly proud to be open-source and supportive of the open-source community, that most emphatically does not extend to granting those behind open-source projects special privileges to write articles here telling the world that they're the "leading, most up-to-date" exemplar of their particular product. IBM doesn't get to say that about themselves (while of course they may quote and attribute other reliable third-party sources saying that) and neither do you (with the same caveat, of course ... in fact, may I humbly suggest that time spent writing a great Wikipedia adarticle about your product might actually be better spent making the product itself better?) — Daniel Case (talk) 06:43, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
