Speedy deletion nomination of User:BCPA


A tag has been placed on User:BCPA, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:BCPA and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Da.squirrels (talk) 17:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

The short informational paragraph on the Butler County Port Authority is factual and referenced under the Ohio Revised Code statute. Several Port Authorities are listed on Wikipedia including the Putnam County and Massachusetts. The short introduction to the Butler County Port Authority provides information that would be helpful to anyone interested in economic development. The BCPA is a legal public agency operating under the Ohio Revised Code Statute 4582. We thought that having a presence on Wikipedia would assist our current and prospective private and non-profit organizations or individuals with a respected reference resource. Your assistance in allowing our participation would be appreciated. Thank you.(BCPA (talk) 18:02, 13 April 2011 (UTC))
 * That would be an argument to create a page at Butler County Port Authority, a page in the main encyclopedia "article-space". This is the "user-space", an area dedicated to talking about and to you as an individual contributor.  Note:  Users are individual humans, not corporations or groups.  (That, by the way, is why the username itself got blocked below.)  Also note that Wikipedia has a strong policy about editing where there is a conflict of interest.  I understand your desire to talk about your own organization but it's almost always a bad idea to write such a page.  It's just to hard to keep the necessary distance and impartiality for a proper encyclopedia article.  Rossami (talk) 21:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, BCPA, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- slakr \ talk / 20:26, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
