This is my first experience with this format, I have assigned it as a project to an advanced student in my IT class. Can you please tell me what we've missed in the creation of this page so that I can guide her on correcting her insertion?

TareaEurope, for starters, please place comments in chronological order per WP:AFDFORMAT. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 14:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, well, if this is the work of "an advanced student in my IT class" I'm assuming it's at the high school level. The problem here is that it fails to meet WP:ORG from what I can see. What's missing is coverage from independent WP:Reliable sources that would establish notability -- and I don't think it's out there, based on my Gsearch. Sorry. Delete.

Thank you for the clarifications. I'll sit with her and go over this in the morning, hopefully she'll be able to find the supporting data you require. Correcting the organization should clearly not be an issue. I appreciate the feedback. TareaEurope (talk) 14:53, 5 February 2017 (UTC)Tarea[reply]

Actually, I think it will be an issue. Because when I did a Google News Search there was virtually nothing. But yes, see what you and your student can turn up, in either news coverage or perhaps Google books. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 15:03, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, your unsupported statement above that you are an educator and this is somehow the joint work of you and a pupil of yours violates WP:ROLE. We do not permit shared use accounts. This does not seem to be an article that has come through Wikipedia:Education program. There's a number of issues raised, in my mind. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 18:54, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've asked my student to look into links that would support notability. She asked if they must be in English. My assumption is yes, but am I correct in that? I am not familiar with the Education program, I will look into it now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TareaEurope (talk • contribs) 11:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No, the links do not have to be in English - but they must exist and be verifiable. The also must pass WP:GNG. TheMagikCow (talk) 19:04, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Guys, thank you for the feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to give it. My student has not found anything that will satisfy the requirements. I think that this has served as a good lesson, though! I'lll have her find independent support to add to other pages for a while as an alternative to this assignment. Thanks once more, enjoy your weekends.TareaEurope (talk) 12:22, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well in this truly odd case, the teacher now admits -- on behalf of both of them -- that this is not notable. I have placed a speedy deletion tag on the article accordingly. @TareaEurope:, obviously, your student has to start making her own edits via her own account -- not yours.
