Speedy deletion nomination of A8 Media Ltd
A tag has been placed on A8 Media Ltd, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

July 2010
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. Toddst1 (talk) 09:52, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Hello this is my first time with wikepedia - I want to write about educational services - I think the mistakes I madde before where about the links and the details about the company but this is my new article

below

 * There are a few things i have to point out.: First and foremost usernames that seem to represent a group are not allowed par WP:CORPNAME. An account is strictly personal and may not be used by, or used for representation, of a group of people. The account itself will therefor not be unblocked.


 * Besides this, you appear to have a Conflict of Interest with the subject you are writing about, which means that you have another goal then writing an objective article on the company. Keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a vessel for advertising or promotion, which means that Wikipedia may not be used as a marketing tool. Other then being promotional, there is no indication that the company itself is notable, that is, important enough to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. Please see WP:CORP for specifics which makes a company notable. I also urge you to read our FAQ for businesses.


 * At this point i do not believe that renaming the account would change the situation, as it won't change the CoI you have towards the article.As said before, we generally don't allow editors to write about subjects that they are closely related to. I would advice you to wait until someone else starts an article about your company; Alternatively you can submit an article to the article's for creation procedure, but keep in mind that the same standards apply - and that the article you currently have will require a full rewrite to meet the guidelines. If you insist on writing it yourself, i would advice modeling it after an article such as Pearson's Candy Company, which is a good quality article. But keep in mind that non compliant pages are simply removed, so ask yourself if your company is notable, and if you are capable of writing a non biased encyclopedic article about it. If the answer to either is no, going trough with it will only be wasted time. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 13:29, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

HI Todd

Why are these 2 entries permissable then - neither is as you say 'Notable' and in essence - whether posted in anothers name or not - they are the same as my entry
