http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Helmuti_pdorf Have a look on "my" talk page about the deletions
The reason is very clear:
The reason for deletion is there are not enough "real" people writing about wikidot!
The notability is not given - I have no idea of relevant Press notices or books.
Blog entries are NOT enough.
I will write here the 3 versions as a comment.
Could be someone have some references ?
If you try to write such article - first try it on a talk page or sandbox!

Problem with suck a rule: is it applied equally for all articles and without any discrimination?
Yeah!
The first rule ( CSD A7) says : no bands, parties, web-sites and so on woth a "relevant source" written "over" it.
The deletions was done by a daemon / bot!
The reason lies in the fact that I wrote about people and not about software…
and had not enough press releases, intervies and so on.
Which documents the relevance for a lot of people! :)

About Wikidot Inc.
Wikidot Inc. is a privately-held corporation based in Delaware, US, with an operating office in Poland. The firm was founded in 2007 by Wikidot.com founder [[Michal Frackowiak]] and a group of private investors. For more information see [http://www.wikidot.com/company] .

==Software and features==
(Software is available free of charge to everyone at wikidot.org)
Wikidot uses its own [[software]] and wiki [[syntax]], both of which are under continuing development. It recently deleted the limit of members for "private" (closed shop) wikis.
Users can create free wikis, which can be ''public'' or ''private'' and only viewable by those who either know the wiki -site password or are definetly members. If owners of wiki-sites want to "monetizing" their site Wikidot uses Google's [[AdSense]] program to run ads)
'''Pros:'''
One of the advantages of the Wikidot is its support of password protected private wiki. ( now more than 40 % of the sites are private) and the easy to install and use of a site specific forum. The software is quite easy to use. Also, there is no restriction on the number of users, number of pages, or revisions.
'''Cons'''
A little drawback of theWikidot platform is its limited space offered for files ( images, pdf, doc, xls a.s.o -300 MB) for free. Not limited are all txt-pages and their revisions. But with the possiblity to embedd Videos, Images from other services this is not e a real problem.
Also, the Wikidot syntax is easy to use for beginners and non-technic starters, but if the beginners get more and more knowledge, they are often over roled by the lot of features and the sophisticated functionality.
The permissions are different to set for user-attributes, but in current release there is no possibility to "hide" a page or category.
==History==
The site was launched on 1. August 2006 under Rel 1.0 , an today (10. March 2008) there are more than 93.000 user with over a million pages of user-created content. Every day the wiki farm gets about 500 new users.

You remember when Mrs. Beasley came slithering around the wikidot PM system? Heh. I wonder if she's still associated with wikipedia. I wonder…

Wikidot page on Wikipedia was once deleted some time ago. Moreover after my changes in Wiki Comparison (after changes in Wikidot — like adding AdSense share revenue) they reverted it. That really sucks :/

Yeah, that says much about what's happening behind the scenes. Whether you can put your own ads on a wiki is a big issue to high-output content producers like myself. (just ask Michal).

I can accept that wikipedia (english) does not want to be a promotion site for commercial wikis and their daughters…
And I can accept that in an encyclopedia is really the neccessarity to have a filter "what is relevant?" .
Otherwise a lot of nonsense will be written by any author.
But how can we demonstrate this relevance for much people ( not the commercial Adsense possibility !).
Only by press notices, interviews of radios, school papers, gazettes and so on. Not only blogs !
MY idea : I will write a book about web 2.0 and its solution in wikidot.org and offer it on www.lulu.com for people do order a printed version.
Than we can write a reference about a public book from a living people with relevant content for a lot of readers ( :) !)

Meybe you should ask them why their wiki farm Wikia HAS the article and Wikidot cannot?

software and syntax in Wikia are exactly the same as in Wikipedia.

comparison of wikifarms… Where some of those have articles… Not only wikia…
Vir bonus miser vocari, at esse non potest miser.
If you want an entry for wikidot alone, you need to be able to show references of being in print media, not online. I've been able to get wikipedia articles in based on a single print reference, though be prepared to debate any edit or removal.
Also, I read the copy above, it was way too promotional. Even with legitimate press releases. You have to write the copy as if you were merely listing facts about a company, without attempting to sell it. For example:
Wikidot.com is a [[wiki farm]] of [[Wiki]] Sites. Their mission is to provide free hosted wikis (like your-site.wikidot.com) with lots of features and professional wiki publishing, collaboration and communication solutions to anyone who needs it and wants it.
That single part would be torn apart by wikipedia. I'm going to write an article on how to get into wikipedia. I'll post here when it is complete.

Do note, that the your plan listed above; to publish your own book and use it as a reference in order to qualify a company profile wont work:
Wikipedia states that cited works must be independent of the subject:
