Nomination of RICHES Mosaic Interface for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article RICHES Mosaic Interface is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RICHES Mosaic Interface until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 04:39, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Articles on Wikipedia have to be compliant with our policies about using a neutral and encyclopedic writing tone rather than a public relations or advertising tone, our rules about referencing the content to sources that are independent of the topic rather than to its own self-published content about itself, our rules about conflict of interest editing, and on and so forth. It doesn't matter what the organization gave you permission to do — if an article isn't properly compliant with our rules, then the fact that the subject wants a Wikipedia article doesn't matter, and if it is properly compliant with our rules then the subject can't get it deleted just by insisting that they don't want to have an article. So if you want to save it, the key is going to be to rewrite it in a more neutral fashion, and to reference it to media coverage of the project rather than to the project's own self-published content about itself. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 22:22, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
