[edit] StockWrap Express Charts

Contested speedy, looks like possible NN software but would prefer some more opinions. Tawker 05:33, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, product still in 'beta development', no evidence of meeting proposed guidelines. Simple promotional article with lightweight "plausible disadvantages" added in response to spam speedy (disclosure: party to speedy). Kuru ^talk 05:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as spam, StockWrap (talk · contribs) created the article. So tagged. MER-C 06:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• • you have created a page for TA software as per Technical Analysis Software, and have contested every software placed on this page? what is the point of a TA software page if you cannot place software on this page? it makes not sense. have requested assistance for rewrite of the article yet no help has been offered. As per guidelines offered by Kuru Creating an article about software you have personally developed is strongly discouraged but not forbidden. It is indeed easy for an author to overestimate the notability of their work. If such work is notable, someone else will eventually start an article about it. Its free software for TA users? How is it not notable? Feel free to edit article as you deem appropriate but deletion is unfair - Stockwrap 28 November 2006, 12:14am
  • also i refer to Merchant of Venice (computer program) by Brick Thrower - who is a notable java programmer and the program is written in java. Furthermore, I see no evidence that this meets proposed guidelines either under Critera- Stockwrap 28 November 2006, 12:24am

The spam comment is more about conflicts of interest, i.e. you should not be promoting stuff that you wrote. That's why it's blatant and unsalvagable spam. And the technical analysis software is for notable pieces of software. You have not demonstrated why this software is notable. MER-C 08:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

One more thing, inclusion is not an indicator of notability. I've prodded the article in question. MER-C 08:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
