Re: coughPHP[edit]
Well, first of all, for an article to be included in Wikipedia, it must meet the notability requirements found here. We have to follow this policy because if the subject of the article is not notable enough to have received at least a moderate level of coverage in reliable third-party sources, there is no way that readers can verify that what is written is true. Also, all articles must be written from a neutral point of view. While you may be able to fix your article's problems with neutrality, I'm afraid you won't be able to establish the subject's notability because there are no available reliable sources that will allow us to verify that what is written in the article is true. (the links above point to the various policy pages that relate to this) Regards. Thingg⊕⊗ 02:40, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
- To answer the second part of your question: (I was writing the above when you wrote it) Those two articles are included because they both have some coverage by reliable third party sources. While I would have to say the first article you mentioned is iffy, the second is definitely notable as it receives multiple reliable hits. Also another (though not really scientific) indication that those two projects are better known is the number of total hits they receive on a search engine. (1.55 million for the first and 2.84 million for the second versus 17100 for your article) Again, this isn't a really good way to test for notability, but does work fairly well to determine the level of interest in a particular computing project. Also, if you can find a reliable source that provides information about your article's subject, I will be more than willing to restore your page. I'll even help you write it if you want me to. But if you can't find a reliable source, I'm afraid I can't really do much to help you make the article meet Wikipedia's guidelines for inclusion. Thingg⊕⊗ 02:51, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
