Your submission at Articles for creation: PROJECT in a box (January 6)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SwisterTwister was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Regardless of reviews as they're still trivial, this entire Draft is simply a PR business listing and there's no automatic inherited notability from anything or anyone else regardless; over 75% of the sources are simply their own website and the other is simply their republished announcements and mentions.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:PROJECT in a box and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

List of freeware

Hi. I wanted to explain why I reverted your edit to List of freeware. The problem is that your addition wasn't sourced. Wikipedia is not a directory, which means that entries should be cited to a reliable source that identifies it as freeware. This provides a means of keeping the list manageable. For example, one of the entries you included, GanttProject, is described in its Wikipedia article as open source. Open source and freeware are frequently differentiated by reliable sources, and what exactly fits under the nebulous banner of "freeware" can be contentious. If we go by what the sources say, it's much easier. Good sources to check are PC Magazine, PC World, and CNET. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 16:44, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
