No, I won't - it doesn't quite work like that. If you want to keep up to date with a specific article, you can add it to your watchlist. But don't worry, I really didn't know anything about Nathaniel Hayward, it just seemed like he should have an article. Enjoy editing! Deb (talk) 17:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oh! I think I didn't explain myself clearly. :P I was talking about the new notification system that's in place here at Wikipedia (the 'Echo' thing, the number near your user name). I thought you had it enabled to notify you. Doesn't matter, don't worry. Just thought that you were more interested in the subject, and not that it was something that "had to be done". Whatever. Thanks anyway. Damian V. (talk) 22:37, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BASIC Engine proposal

Hello Draft Reviewer! I submitted a proposal to include a page about the BASIC Engine single-board computer. My argument in favor of including it is that it has the same relevance as other existing pages of open-source hardware projects (e.g. Novena, Rascal or PC532). It is a non-commercial project, so there are no advertising intentions behind its inclusion. The page is not created to personally promote its creator either (no pergola page is being proposed). I hope it is considered worthy of inclusion. If you disagree with it, I will appreciate your motives. Thank you! Damian V. (talk) 10:33, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sure it is notable, but you have not proved it. If accepted there is a strong probability that it would be deleted immediately in that basis. Our role as reviewers is to seek to ensure that an article will not immediately be subject to one of our deletion processes when it is accepted. That is why we push it back to the author. We want to accept articles. Fiddle Faddle 10:44, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that's why I submitted as a proposal and not created a page directly. I do not understand pages like UDOO, though. Is that being proposed for deletion? Damian V. (talk) 10:55, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is now. Thank you for spotting it. That page should never have survived that long, and must have slipped under the radar. Every editor, me, you, we are all guardians here and are entitled to proposed article for deletion, always based on policy.

If you can improve your draft with excellence of referencing then it is likely to proceed Fiddle Faddle 11:10, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! No, I don't think I can improve the article much. While a really interesting project, it's too niche, as a lot of educational and open-source projects are. I tried to find more references, but honestly, for some reason, I'm unable to find anything more than I already provided. I believe the very nature of the project makes it too obscure (educational, which makes is not as popular as commercial products, DIY nature, open-source...), so that's why I proposed it for speedy deletion. It seems there's no place for educational projects in the world (see the PowerPlay project that inspired it), so, it is what it is. Thanks anyway. Damian V. (talk) 11:16, 10 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
