Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:General Building Plastics


A tag has been placed on Draft:General Building Plastics, 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 be 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.gbplastics.co.uk/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 removed 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. Yeryry (talk) 14:24, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

May 2017
There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia; and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:50, 17 May 2017 (UTC)

{unblock|Not sure how i edit the inappropriate edits please help} You can not edit pages while you are blocked. However you can attempt to assure us that you will not use wikipedia for means of advertising, or anything of the such in order for you to be unblocked. FixCop (talk) 18:29, 18 May 2017 (UTC)

Leaving the unblock request for another admin because I've already handled one higher up the page, but you will not be unblocked if you still plan on writing about your company. There's no need to remove promotional content from the article, the whole thing has already been deleted. What we want to know is, given that we aren't going to let you write about General Building Plastics, what are you going to write about instead? If the answer is, "nothing, I only joined Wikipedia to write about my company," then you're wasting everyone's time, including your own, by appealing the block; you should check out the alternatives available. If, on the other hand, you'd like to edit articles about aardvarks, toffee, molybdenum, xylophones or just about anything that isn't General Building Plastics, then you're very welcome here, and we'll be happy to lift the block.
