Fluidware[edit]

I've restored the article per your request. You'll want to make sure that the article meets WP:CORP guidelines and is reliably sourced to avoid future deletion nominations or actions. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 16:45, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved it to Draft:Fluidware in the interim. Mkdw ^talk 18:13, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello Aminiland, thank you for declaring your conflict of interest on your userpage. I noticed you have gone around tagging a few other software companies with notability maintenance tags. While you may have knowledge about the industry sector you are working in, by only doing a very little amount of research, I was able to connect those companies to Fluidware. Vivek Bhaskaran, whom you tagged with the edit summary "questionable notability", founded SurveyMonkey which acquired Fluidware with which you have a stated COI. Bhaskaran also founded IdeaScale, which you also tagged with the edit summary. If all three of these subjects are related to one another, it is better for the community and editors without a conflict of interest make these assessments.

@Mkdw: Bhaskaran has no relation to Surveymonkey whatsoever. He is not the founder of SurveyMonkey (Ryan & Chris Finley are). Where did you see that? Aminland (talk) 16:49, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think Mkdw got the name of the company wrong, but the Bhaskaran article says he founded two survey software companies, so I think it would be a conflict of interest to be contributing to articles about competitors in your sector. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:56, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Fluidware (June 12)[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 Curb Safe Charmer was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Having reviewed the sources cited in the article, some are interviews with the founder (which are therefore not a reliable, independent source), some are articles announcing the acquisition, some are links to pages on the Fluidware website (not an independent source) and numerous are dead links. I cannot see anything there that indicates that this is a notable company. It seems that most of the media attention came about when the company was sold.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Fluidware and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
