• Comment It was my first article and I was not aware of many of the Wikipedia guidelines. I have a declaration of interest on my user page here: User:Robertinventor#Declaration of interest. The reason I did not delete it was:

• Speedy Delete G11, promo for Robert's not-free software No editors have contributed text or sources beyond the most basic of copyediting. Robert's sources above are product reviews (see WP:SPIP), and nobody cares about the WP:GOOGLETEST. On the day of article creation, Robert also created a user page in which he [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Robertinventor&oldid=187984741 proudly proclaimed that Tune Smithy was his best selling software]. This is part of a pattern of Wikipedia editing intersecting with Robert's financial self promotion. At this ANI proceeding its observed that Robert's work here on Mars overlaps the work he sells on Amazon. NewsAndEventsGuy (talk) 23:39, 19 August 2018 (UTC)
• Delete as unambiguous WP:PROMO. Bakazaka (talk) 00:37, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
• Delete as WP:PROMO and failing to meet WP:GNG. Each of the two reviews are for different products: one is for Tune Smithy and the other is for the related, but separate product, Bounce Metronome and does not mention Tune Smithy. Although they are independent and reliable sources with significant mentions of the two products, one such source for each product is not, in my opinion, sufficient to establish notability for either product. If the products were truly notable, there would be additional product reviews or other significant mentions of them. The other listed sources are all passing mentions of the product and do not establish notability. Ca2james (talk) 02:19, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

• Delete. Self-promotion as demonstrated at his latest [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive990#User:Robertinventor,_again ANI incident report]. Regarding intrinsic notability, it has none. It was mentioned very casually of its existence in only one review article. Rowan Forest (talk) 17:10, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
• Delete per WP:PROMO.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:47, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
