Speedy deletion of REPLAY (software)

A tag has been placed on REPLAY (software) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Reincarnated REPLAY (Sofware) article

Hello Oas777. I see that you've recreated the REPLAY (software) article. I've read the article and scanned the references, but haven't yet been successful at identifying any thread of notability that would warrant inclusion in Wikipedia.

Most of the references are self-published. The only reference I see that's somewhat independent of the authors is in the online journal Open Mind. Still, it contains images from a Powerpoint (or equivalent) presentation that appears to have been written by the software's authors. The SIGACM reference requires a subscription to be checked, making it invalid for use with Wikipedia. (I suspect that this is a technical paper submitted by REPLAY authors for publication in the conference proceedings, which also makes it self-published.) So, I'm going to nominate the article for deletion due to lack of notability and verifiable second-source references. If you think that I've missed something, feel free to argue against deletion on the article's AfD page. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this with me, just leave a note here and I'll see it. Regards, Jim Ward ^{(talk·stalk)} 02:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of REPLAY (software)

I have nominated REPLAY (software), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/REPLAY (software). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Jim Ward ^{(talk·stalk)} 02:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
