[edit] ReaSoft Converter

A tag has been placed on ReaSoft Converter, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of ReaSoft Converter and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall talk 21:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:ReaSoftPDFprinterLogo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:ReaSoftPDFprinterLogo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:20, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Reasoft

You might want to have a discussion with Finngall, who tagged your article for speedy deletion. One tip on getting articles kept in general - find and include in the article reliable secondary sources that assert the verifiability and notability of the subjects in question. Good luck! - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 09:30, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your deleted articles

I've looked at the deleted versions of "ReaSoft Converter" and "PDF Printer ReaSoft". Here are some of my findings:

  • First and foremost, avoid "advertisement language". For example, this paragraph is a particularly incriminating example: "Founded in 1999, ReaSoft Development is a IT company specializing in producing efficient, well-made and user-friendly software to meet the needs of both business professionals and amateur home users. At the same time, our products have found a home with thousands of novice digital photographers and webmasters." Wikipedia strives for neutrality. Consider it this way: We're not in business of selling things. We're not in business of promoting a business. We're not obligated in telling how the company in question views themselves, according to their marketers. And above all, we should avoid buzzword-laden stuff that is completely devoid of content: "...specializing in producing efficient, well-made and user-friendly software to meet the needs of both business professionals and amateur home users..." Yeah, just like just about every software company on the planet! Not remarkable at all! <sarcasm>If they'd be deliberately producing slow, bug-ridden and difficult-to-use software for very marginal userbase, that would be something worth mentioning!</sarcasm> =)
  • Avoid "our great bottle-grown article" syndrome. "Regardless of what applications are being used to create the original documents, ReaSoft PDF Printer can convert them to PDF format." <sarcasm>No, really? It really works just like Distiller? I would have never guessed.</sarcasm> In short, the articles should integrate to other Wikipedia articles; instead of listing your features like they'd be latest and greatest proprietary inventions, they should only cover what's completely unique to them - everything else can be covered briefly. For example, the fact that virtual printers can be used for PDF generation is already covered in virtual printer article; instead of explaining how virtual printers work in ReaSoft PDF Printer, you probably could improve the virtual printer article and tell how virtual printers can produce PDFs.
  • Outside sources are important. The FinePrint article you mentioned might not be the best example of this, but if you have sources that explain why this product is so famous and worthy of note, that'd be good. See notability, verifiability and reliable sources.

The articles had some details on what the products are and what they do, but they could have used a certain amount of explaining on why the products are so important. For example, FinePrint might not, in current incarnation, need that much explaining right now; it's an established product, almost everyone in graphics industry has at least heard about it in passing, just searching for "FinePrint" nets 6 million Google hits, so it's not unreasonable to assume that it would get expanded with details. An article about a less known product might not be so fortunate; you probably need some more initial footwork to convince everyone that this in fact is a famous product.

As a general tip, I'd say that it'd probably be more fruitful to build an article on the company itself, including information about the products, then create redirects from product pages to the company article. A notability of a company and all of its products is usually easier to demonstrate than notability of individual products.

Hope this helps, and happy editing! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:43, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

I have little if anything to add to what Wwwwolf has said, and whole-heartedly endorse his advice. --Finngall talk 15:59, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
