Again...
A CP Editor always "approve" the article after correcting it. But it doesn't mean it has been checked against spam or plagiarism.
And in this particular case. Deeksha relies on us, she doesn't even visit this forum, she just does a terrific work correcting all the messed up articles that get sent, and that already is a 120% job.

This 'article' has 8 links to site that sells parts... Even those parts are used in the article the links are totally irrelevant...
With that said - one should inform the author, who may not know the fine prints, before smashing the article...

Interfacing DS1307 RTC Module With Arduino[^] contains a lot of links to a commercial electronics site. It could be totally innocent, or it could actually be active spamming. I still could not decide between both alternatives, but the fact that the user just registered today would make me lean towards the latter explanation.
Your thoughts?

You're right. I didn't catch that it was specific to the hardware available at the linked site. As such, it belongs on their website, so I've removed my approval for now.
However, the same rationale could be used to reject articles that use any commercial framework, even those which are popular. It would then be a question of trying to determine if an author is at arm's length from the commercial product being discussed. What a rabbit hole. @chris-maunder

The problem is not about using a commercial product/part/framework... It is about to link to site that sells it...
If you are writing about an idea and do the coding part using some commercial framework, there is nothing wrong with that... Those are reading the article may decide to buy it or implement your idea using an other framework (commercial or not)...
The problem starts when your article contains links to such selling site...

No...
A CP-Editor did her job, correcting the format issues that the article in moderation had. And once a CP Editor is done with the work, it gets approved automatically.
It doesn't mean it is not spam, or CP has approved it.
Deeksha does a terrific job correcting, optimizing the articles. But she doesn't check spam or whatever, she relies on us to do it.

What a surprise...
And I know that I am not wrong 
And I am not being arrogant or whatever you want to think. It is not the first time.
Deeksha never comes to this forum, she doesn't check about spam or plagiarism, she relies on us.
You have summoned @Sean-Ewington in the thread above, he will tell you the same.
