Hi there,
i am having some difficulties understanding some decisions and need some words of clarification from you people.
I am the lead developer of a project called ActiveQuant, which got deleted recently. There was some notability discussion about this software and i clearly pointed out that delisting ActiveQuant is not only unfair but also unjust in my eyes. A very important other library called QuantLib got delisted, too. The main problem these two projects were suffering from is notability.
Now, as these two projects got deleted, i enforced the same rule (missing notability) on other projects and marked them as to be deleted.
Someone with account HU12 therefore initiated a block against my account and rolled back my delete requests without knowing that these projects of course have exactly the same notability issues and must therefore be deleted, too.
To go even further, he has now removed permission to modify my own talk page, as he accuses me to abuse the method to request unblocking. I still request unblocking of my account and deletion of these other projects (actually most other open source listings on wikipedia suffer from this notability rule), or get rid of this notability rule which doesn't make much sense for most open source software distributed on the internet.
Anyway, to the main point of my email:
Could someone please be so kind and explain to me a) why has my delete-request been removed from those other projects, although it is perfectly valid b) why has my account been blocked
I really can't reason this, i also must admit that there are dozens of other pages that have missing references or notability problems and why has our page (ActiveQuant) been deleted, although there were other people, not only me, complaining about this delete request. I do value the hint from this other guy (can't remember his name right now), that once ActiveQuant has reached notability by i.e. a book about it or a magazine article as a backening it will have no notablity issues anymore and is valid for resubmission! But again, why are other projects that have even less text and information to learn from (software related, i.e. architectural insight) still listed?
Thanks for any shared insight. Ulrich.
