User talk:A.Pfister

May 2018
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Longhair\talk 12:38, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Per WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO, you will not be permitted to create a page about the organisation that you work for. Lavalizard101 (talk) 13:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you all for your messages. I totally understand your view. But as there is already the same article in German on Wikipedia, I do not clearly understand, why I am not allowed to publish this same article also in English? The same for Gübelin Gem Lab, this article contains the same information as it is written also in the Gübelin article. Thank you for your explanation. A.Pfister (talk) 08:07, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

We have a slightly different way of going about things here on the English Wikipedia. WP:NORG may help, baring in mind that just because the business is notable enough for the German Wikipedia does not make it notable for the English Wikipedia. Lavalizard101 (talk) 09:21, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

renamed
I globally renamed Gübelin to A.Pfister. Someone else will address the merits of unblocking.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 16:05, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Gübelin


A tag has been placed on Gübelin, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.gubelin.com/en/about-guebelin/about-us. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
