Non notable open source software failing WP:NOTABILITY. Recreation of the previously AfD deleted spam article AbanteCart, which also been speedily deleted a multitude of times. Has a few links but they seem to be press releases. Seems to be nothing more than Self-promotion and product placement, which wikipedia is WP:NOT. Hu12 (talk) 22:49, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nominator. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:11, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per nomination above and the rationale on the March 2012 AfD deletion. As before, only the PracticalEcommerce (p)review may provide a WP:RS. Aside from that I'm only seeing a couple of download site basic pages on the product. AllyD (talk) 07:34, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This article is much the same as what I recall of that deleted by the March AfD. Is it sufficiently different for CSD:G4 not to apply this time around, as it did with a previous repost on 13th October (see User talk:Projkov)? AllyD (talk) 07:49, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note; User Projkov‏‎ is the bureaucrat, administrator on abantecart.com's wiki site; (abantecart.com/document_wiki/index.php/Special:Contributions/Projkov), and the administrator of the forums as evidenced below.--Hu12 (talk) 15:22, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Still review I am not sure if I can provide any input here. I have looked at prior delete in User talk:Projkov but I can not find prior article that was deleted. AllyD said that the article is much the same. How can prior deleted article be seen to be sure it is the same? Finally, I found this resource "AbanteCart Shopping Cart Software by AbanteCart". FindTheBest on VentureBeat. {{cite web}}: Italic or bold markup not allowed in: |publisher= (help) that I seen was valued in some other similar article. I hope this helps and apologies, since I am new to wikipedia.— Eccommercewisdom (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Fails as a WP:RS--Hu12 (talk) 15:22, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Note; It appears there is an ongoing effort to solicit for this articles creation, by AbanteCart

Several users have agreed to make attempts at promoting AbanteCart, and we have seen multiple WP:SPA / advertising-only account created for that purpose;(Projkov (talk · contribs), Oscwriter (talk · contribs), Eccommercewisdom (talk · contribs))--Hu12 (talk) 15:22, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Sources do not establish notablity. - MrOllie (talk) 17:43, 28 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; I already realized in the past of COI with my original article. I apologized for not knowing this, and am sorry for this again. Calling me bureaucrat, spammer, advertiser (what else is there) is not nice. After all we run free, open source, non profit development community. I have no connection to the accounts "puppets" mentioned here. Projkov (talk)
