What discussion? What are you guys talking about? There was no discussion that I could find anywhere.

I see you found

WP:DISCUSSAFD
.

The nomination rationale I provided was "PRODed over a year ago and was restored. Referenced only by primary sources and I could find none in

PROD is the second type of deletion discussion and it's short for a "proposed deletion". In short, if someone places a PROD on an article and no one removes that notification, a bot comes along seven days later and the article is deleted without discussion. It's useful for subjects that do not qualify for the first type of deletion, a speedy deletion or for an article that has been around a while. Since the article was deleted seven days after I nominated it that way, it was gone, but a record of it still existed. You then asked for it to be restored
, and the admin restored it. So that covers my first sentence.

The only references in the article are what we call

WP:RSN
) that give it significant coverage (not just a passing mention) that are independent of the subject (as opposed to are trying to distribute it or are its authors) feel free to add them directly to the article or on the article's talk page.

Granted, you didn't read the hidden comment when you removed the AfD: "Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the discussion has been closed", so I'm not sure you'll read any or all of this. If you have any questions, feel free to use either the {{

ping
}} to contact me. Be sure to click through to anything with a link and read what's there.

For what it's worth, when I nominated your article, I also nominated several other media burning applications, all of which were deleted. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:25, 25 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for explaining @Walter:. I have little experience discussing things in a wiki format, and for some reason email notifications were turned off for me so I never knew any of this was happening even though I was subsribed to the page.

I will go through the page and expand it. There are countless "reliable sources" independent of the software author that mention various parts of this application's history. Mig21 (talk) 02:35, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

FAQ for organizations
for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

  • avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
  • instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
  • when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
  • exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Based on your comment at File:Isomaster screenshot vista.png, I believe you have a vested interest in the product Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:07, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Walter:: I am the author of the application. I have tried very hard to be objective. Please clarify in Talk:ISO_Master what you feel is inappropriate, and feel free to improve or suggest improvements. Mig21 (talk) 04:13, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I never claimed anything other than your direct involvement is problematic. You don't seem to have a clear understanding of how Wikipedia works and this will continue to cause problems. Your best bet now is to prove that your product meets
WP:GNG: it has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". This means write-ups, not how-tos or lists of ports, in sources that have little or nothing to do with you or the product. Walter Görlitz (talk) 04:22, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply

you don't get it

There is only one way that you can keep your product's article on Wikipedia: find

  1. significant coverage
  2. in reliable sources
  3. that are independent of the subject

Anything else is not useful. Discussing how to remove the AfD notice will happen when the community is ready to remove it. And there's no statute of limitations. If we decide to keep it now for whatever reason, an editor can come along in a year's time and nominate it again. That can happen until it's deleted. So your best bet is to either stop promoting your project or fin significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:13, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There are rules against copying my comments to the discussion. If you insist on being difficult I will be forced to report you to the admins and let them deal with your self-promotion. Have a good life. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:33, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
