Proposed deletion of OpenBiblio (software)

edit

The article OpenBiblio (software) has been proposed for deletion. The proposed-deletion notice added to the article should explain why.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

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

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

Have you used the OpenBiblio software?

edit

Hello Rcmason. I notice that you created this article a couple of days ago. Can I ask if you have personal experience using the software? Your initial version of the article did not include any reliable sources. This absence will cause the article to have an uncertain future on Wikipedia, and it may eventually cause it to be sent to WP:Articles for deletion if people lose patience with it. If you know anything at all about OpenBiblio from your personal experience, and are willing to respond here, that might give us ideas for expanding the article, in ways that would allow it to be kept. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 19:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)Reply

Articles for deletion nomination of OpenBiblio

edit
I have nominated OpenBiblio, 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/OpenBiblio. 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. Pcap ping 09:05, 2 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Per BLP policies around personal information, to include a birthdate you need a better source than an inference from a tweet. OhNoitsJamie Talk 02:44, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
