Speedy deletion nomination of User:Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR)
A tag has been placed on User:Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR), 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.

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), 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.

Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please create a new account. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text below this message. Thanks.

There may be some confusion here. First, your username is your username - in theory, it identifies a single individual person who edits the encyclopedia, so that every edit he or she makes can be clearly attributed to that distinct individual and no other. This is a requirement of the licensing under which Wikipedia is written. If your username is changed, then this userpage and talk page will change as well, since they are identified with the username. If an article were to be written about the Association of Jewish Refugees, its name would not change with your username. By naming your user account after the organization you wish to write about, you imply that you are editing on behalf of that organization, which is not permitted - and which is the primary reason for your block. The fact that it looks like you were editing from the AJR attempting to promote the AJR was also problematic. We require articles to be writted from a Neutral Point of View, and this is impossible when one is associated with the subject. You'll also want to have a look at our conflict of interest policy.

Right now, this account cannot edit, since it appeared to be strictly promotional. If your username were changed, what would you edit? Do you plan to edit just the AJR article, or are there other subjects you might wish to help out on? We have over 3,000,000 articles at this point (!), and lots of work to do - any help is welcome, if you're willing. Please review the policies I link above, and let us know what your intentions are.
