Speedy deletion nomination of User:Abrhouston/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Abrhouston/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Pahunkat (talk) 17:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:39, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Not commenting on the unblock request, but phrases like "dedication to quality and excellence", "a reputation for quality and reliability" and "significant investments in state-of-the-art diagnostic tools" aren't written from a neutral point of view. On top of that you would have to prove your company meets our notability guideline for companies. If you're only looking to create an article for the business I'd strongly urge you to read the notability guidelines before putting any further effort in and see if you can find enough suitable sources to prove the company meets them, otherwise it will all be wasted. Best, Pahunkat (talk) 18:13, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Understandable, and I appreciate the insight. Abrhouston (talk) 18:21, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Also please realize that creating an article about your own company is a conflict of interest. While it is not outright prohibited, we discourage this kind of editing, for reasons you have already encountered. Because of your proximity to and financial interest in the topic you're writing about, you'll find it difficult to write from the required neutral point of view, use information cited only to reliable and independent sources, and avoid using any personal knowledge or experience.


 * Also please realize that if your article is accepted, you will at no point have any right of ownership or control over its content. That means you can't insist that it remain at a version that you prefer. Any Wikipedia user can edit any article at any time, so the content of any article can change over time, sometimes substantially. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, I understand. I appreciate all of the mod's insight. Perhaps I did a "ready, fire, aim!" a bit. Abrhouston (talk) 20:19, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Understandable. I put the cart before the horse here. You've slapped my wrist. I'd like to contribute with edits, now that I grasp the context of this. I can show you the example/article of the edit (it isn't credible) if you'd like. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N54#cite_note-42 is a citation that goes to https://www.ultimatebimmerservice.com/n63-n74-n54-injector-update/#/. This is an independent auto repair shop that isn't the authority of this information. This is from BMW directly, via the NHTSA. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10170574-9999.pdf.
 * Again, another citation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_N54#cite_note-41 is not from the actual source of BMW, https://www.brrperformance.com/bmw-fuel-injector-extd-warranty-reimbursement/, this would be the correct document to source, from BMW via NHTSA https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10150898-9999.pdf 50.194.170.209 (talk) 17:01, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
