Speedy deletion nomination of ExpressPigeon
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on ExpressPigeon requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Tentinator 07:08, 28 April 2013 (UTC)

The article ActiveJDBC has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Created by "Ipolansky" (dev's name is "Igor Polansky"). I can't find any third-party source material covering this software.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Ipolevoy. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 20:55, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Managing a conflict of interest reply
[edit]Hello, MrOllie - not sure this is how replies are written, I hope this is OK. I'm a main maintainer and contributor (along with others) for the Open Source project {http://javalite.io JavaLite}. While I'm associated with it, no payments are made, since this is Open Source. On the contrary, I (and others) have been working on it for 10 years. It is used commercially by many well known companies and organizations without any benefit to myself and other contributors. It is like any other OSS product listed countless times on Wikipedia. Not sure how else I can add an article about it, please advice.
- Since you have asked, you have a clear conflict of interest in it. (Money isn't the only possible source of COI; it regards anything you're closely associated with.) What you should be doing in regards to any of your own projects is creating a draft and then requesting articles for creation review. That way, an editor who does not have a COI can assess whether the article should be put into the encyclopedia. Also please note that the vast majority of software projects are not notable, and so will not and should not have articles about them at all. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:16, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Hello, Seraphimblade. With all due respect, who is best to create OSS articles other than authors. Please, see: List of Java frameworks. I have been programming Java for the last 25 years, and never heard of half the frameworks mentioned there. Wikipedia is full of references to other OSS projects, so I do not get it. Consider accepting it. Additionally, the ActiveJDBC page was also marked by you for deletion after 10 years on Wikipedia!!!! ActiveJDBC is part of JavaLite. The change I made today to that page was simply fixing a broken link. Are you on a deletion spree?
- I happened to notice it given the recent activity. It does not seem appropriate for an article. While it is okay for an author of a project to submit an article about it, it is very nearly impossible for any of us (certainly including me) to remain neutral and dispassionate about things we are close to. That is why we ask authors with a COI to have people without one review their work. Seraphimblade Talk to me 22:35, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Nomination of ActiveJDBC for deletion
[edit]
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/ActiveJDBC until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.
