Proposed deletion of Cymmetria

The article Cymmetria has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

An advertorially-toned page on an unremarkable private company; significant RS coverage to meet WP:CORPDEPTH / WP:NCORP not found. Recently graduated from Y Combinator startup accelerator, which strongly suggests it's WP:TOOSOON for an article. Created by Special:Contributions/Thedm with no other contributions outside this topic. Article cited to routine corporate news, funding announcements and WP:SPIP sources, such as Y Combinator itself.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (October 19)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by Dan arndt were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Lacks inline citations to independent secondary sources. Noting IMDb and blogsites are not acceptable reliable sources.

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 User:Thedm/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion.

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

Hi, i'm not sure what is the proper action: the page "On The Shoulders of Dwarves" is the translated English article for the Hebrew article, all references and citations of the original article are in Hebrew so i didn't add them to the English article. Do I add the citations in the original language to the English article? otherwise, the article might be deleted for no reference & citation. What should I do?

I'm not familiar with the Hebrew Wikipedia's policies and guidelines which may differ from the English Wikipedia's. On the English Wikipedia, content should be a summary of what reliable secondary sources have reported about the subject, we should cite those sources, and a subject must have received significant coverage in such sources to be considered notable enough to be the subject of an article in the first place. The Hebrew Wikipedia article cites Haaretz, which is such a reliable source, but the others are... less helpful. Even with all of them it seems unlikely that this podcast meets the English Wikipedia's inclusion standards. Huon (talk) 18:33, 25 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
