Your submission at Articles for creation: ZeroTier (November 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by David.moreno72 was:

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:ZeroTier and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Hi, thanks for message. If I'd seen this first, I would have deleted on sight, but since you've asked my opinion I'll give you a limited time to see if you can fix it. Problems. I deleted your article because

it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. You have no independent third-party references
There is no evidence that the software meets the linked notability criteria, and I note that it is only a few months old.
it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: that is capable of establishing connections between devices behind NAT as if they were on the same local network. Endpoint connections are peer-to-peer (after initial route discovery via root servers) and end-to-end encrypted. Also, your external links should be one link to the main website, nothing else
If you have a conflict of interest when editing this article, you must declare it. In particular, if you work directly or indirectly for the software organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:IIIEB4YK. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=IIIEB4YK|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance. You must also reply to the COI request above.

If you decide that you can't show that it meets the notability criteria with proper refs, let me know. If it isn't improved, I'll delete it in the near future anyway Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:19, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Replied on your user talk page -- IIIEB4YK (talk) 21:48, 17 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I've removed two incorrect ELs, I'm not convinced that the others serve a useful purpose. I'm still not convinced that the product has been shown to be notable, or that all of your refs are necessarily RS, but I'm happy to leave that to the AfD reviewers now Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:23, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
