Is this really notable enough to have its own page? The capitalisation should be changed to "Simkin glider gun breeder" in any case. 77topaz (talk) 07:26, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

My recommendation would be to stick to LifeWiki:Pattern pages guidelines:
User-created patterns
Although LifeWiki hopes to expand and catalogue everything there is to know about
the Game of Life, users are generally discouraged from adding patterns that they
themselves constructed, in order to avoid a potential conflict of interest.
There are of course exceptions, such as when the constructed pattern
is of clear notability.

It's a little painful to follow this rule sometimes, especially when you really want something of yours to show up in the LifeWiki and nobody else is stepping up to do the work... but it's probably less painful than getting articles deleted after you've spent the time writing them, on the annoying grounds of "non-notability".
