Talk:Polarr

Speedy deletion

I applied the speedy tag, but I'm not sure if this article actually qualifies for speedy deletion. The article says that "Polarr was selected by SVIEF as one of the 2014 Top 10 Start-up Projects", and the claim is referenced. Is SVIEF a reliable source? Would a deletion discussion be more appropriate for this? Writing Enthusiast (talk) 19:30, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

I removed the speedy tag. The threshold for surviving WP:CSD#A7 speedy deletion is that the article must have a credible claim of significance, and that claim needn't even be sourced.

The organization is legitimate and a reliable source, but the recognition doesn't appear to be notable. And being on a list hardly constitutes significant coverage that we require.

Here in Silicon Valley, there are conferences, conventions, forums, etc. happening on a daily or weekly basis, and many of them will give an "award" to the top start-up exhibits. It's like a winery winning a local, unknown wine-tasting contest.

I doubt this article would survive AFD, but it's enough to survive CSD. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:22, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

In April 2023, Polarr launched the Polarr AI Copilots. Polarr AI Copilots is made up of 3 distinct tools, the Photo Editing Copilot, the Video Editing Copilot and the Design Copilot. The Photo Editing Copilot allows users to use their imagination to edit photos by allowing them to describe the edits they want for categories such as people, surroundings, or colors and then applying those edits to the photo. The Video Editing Copilot makes applying complex video effects such as adding cinematic colors, making advanced transitions or applying other impressive video effects with simple text based inputs. The Video Editing Copilot interprets a user's text inputs and generates an output that closely aligns with the user's vision and provides an explanation as to how they were made. The Design Copilot helps businesses create instant design templates, by allowing users to describe what they want done to their input images so that the Design Copilot can produce customized social posts based on their input images. All three of the Copilots allow users to tweak the results by allowing them to provide additional instructions through text based inputs so that they can fine tune the outputs to their liking.

Additionally: Note that Wikipedia is not a publicity medium, nor is it a venue to showcase your products. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company has to say about itself. We publish what secondary reliable sources that are independent of the company say about it. And there were no sources proposed for the above edit request. This is exactly why the article is protected so that company representatives cannot edit it.

Instead of proposing promotional additions, I suggest you propose sources to address problems identified in the article where sources are missing. I have removed two unsourced and seemingly inconsequential statements from the History section a moment ago. ~Anachronist (talk) 02:58, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
