Speedy deletion nomination of User:BLHClubBanter


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:BLHClubBanter, 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. Jeb3 Talk at me here  14:49, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I'm not sure how much more factually neutral I can be while explaining who we are, what we do, how we do it, and how interested parties might find more information... Is this about facts or something else? Please advise, on how I can describe my business that would meet your standards.) --BLHClubBanter (talk) 15:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)


 * You have fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of Wikipedia. It is not a means for you to tell the world about your business. Wikipedia has no interest in what a business wants to say about itself.
 * Articles about businesses must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria, which requires a business to have already received significant coverage in reliable, unaffiliated sources.
 * We discourage people from writing about their own businesses because it is a conflict of interest. It will be inherently difficult for you to write about it from the required neutral point of view, relying only on third-party sources and not using any primary sources or unpublished original research. If your business is truly notable enough to be included, someone else not connected to your company will eventually create an article about it.
 * Desiring an article is a bad idea from the start - an article about you or your business is not necessarily a good thing. You will have no right of ownership or control over its contents, and the neutral point of view policy will ensure that both positive and negative information is included, as long as it's reliably sourced and objectively worded.
 * You wrote your content on your userpage, which is not an encyclopedia article. A userpage's purpose is to tell a bit about you, the editor, and your activities as they relate to editing Wikipedia. The userpage guidelines detail what is and is not considered acceptable content there.
 * Your account name is also named after your business, which is forbidden by Wikipedia's username policy. Your account may be blocked for that reason alone unless you request a change of username. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:31, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 15:44, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
