It seems very odd to me that this page does not exist. I believe a company representative previously tried to create a page, and that resulted in it being locked?

I can prove GetJar is sufficiently notable, is there anything else I need to do to get it unprotected so I can create the page? Mathiastck (talk) 23:06, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Here is my work in progress towards a current stub for GetJar, User:Mathiastck/GetJar. However right now it should simply redirect to List_of_digital_distribution_platforms_for_mobile_devices. I just redirect application store there too. Mathiastck (talk) 01:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your disbelief that this page does not exist. Several versions of this page has existed before, but they have all been deleted by wikipedia administrators who misuse their powers and use the speedy delete for things it was never intended for. -- Egil (talk) 13:38, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I went to this page expecting to find out what GetJar is, but this reads just like an ad for GetJar. it looks to me like it was written by the developers and is completely biased. I assume this is why it keeps getting deleted. JonnyT (talk) 05:02, 16 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the best way to prove notability. My plan is to continue editing the article, adding sources and references.

But dang! That got flagged for not being notable fast. I'm curious what criteria or rule of thumb is being used before people flag something for speedy deletion.

I am off to lunch, please do not delete the page until I get back. Hangon. Mathiastck (talk) 19:40, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually wikipedia itself is a good enough reference to prove the notability of GetJar. Just search GetJar, a great many pages refer to it, but could not reference it because this page had been salted. This page MIDlet#See_also claimed GetJar is "the largest site for distribution of MIDlets." and this matches my anecdotal evidence. Also the see also section for GetJar leads to a list of similar companies, that a page that needs some wiki love, they all need more statistics, and the whole Application Store, AppStore, Mobile Phone Application Distributor, set of articles need improving. Mathiastck (talk)

I had hoped that link would help prove notability, but all it says is GetJar sponsored something. That's like the opposite of the sort of notability proving references I was hoping for. Mathiastck (talk) 20:56, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is a self reported metric from GetJar, but it's the sort of thing I'm looking for.

http://blog.getjar.com/developer/uncategorized/taking-the-hassle-out-of-mobile-games-distribution-case-study/ "Since uploading both games onto GetJar, the number of downloads has soared. Assault Team 3D has achieved in excess of 1.6million downloads and its sequel, Assault Team 3D NAJAF has generated 160,000 downloads only several weeks after launch. " Figures like that, especially if they are being repeated by another source, especially a good news source, would be great. Mathiastck (talk) 21:09, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
