Argus (monitoring software)[edit]

Hi. This article must meet our Notability Guideline using reliable sources as narrowly defined in the guideline. Otherwise it's going to be deleted very soon. Please add sourcing information ASAP.

Thanks, --A. B. ^(talk) 19:38, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PS. Sorry for the abrupt, mildly unfriendly introduction to Wikipedia.

New articles by new editors get deleted quickly if they don't look kosher -- we get dozens of spam articles per hour. Hence the rushed nature of my first message.

OK, well now it's time to welcome you properly: Welcome.

Some folks leave grand welcome statements with links to a bazillion procedures, help pages, rules, etc. We've got over 40 policies and 20 guidelines and nobody besides Adrian Monk has ever read them all.

I'll keep it simple -- read the "Simplified Ruleset" closely and that will give you 90% of what you need to know and the rest you can pick up as you go.

Again, welcome. --A. B. ^(talk) 20:36, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Argus (monitoring software).

Finding sources which mention the topic of your article is the very best way to avoid an article being deleted {{Findsources3}}:

Also, there are several tools and helpful editors on Wikipedia who can help you:

1. List the page on Article Rescue Squadron. You can get help listing your page on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.

2. At any time, you can ask any administrator to move your article to a special page. (Called userfication)

3. You can request a mentor to help explain all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond to you before responding on the article for deletion page.

4. When trying to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you. Here is a list of acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.

If your page is deleted, you also have many options available. Good luck! Ikip (talk) 03:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
