User talk:Bedfordian Business School

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Bedfordian Business School (talk) 11:14, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

I am very new to Wikipedia and simply wanted to add our organisation to the site. Perhaps you could a way in which we can become part of your great website without having it deleted

 * Not every organisation gets an article. Please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory or profile host like LinkedIn and AboutUs. Look at WP:CORP and WP:RS (which is about the reliable independent sources needed to prove notability under CORP). You should also read WP:COI (about editing on subjects you are close to), WP:SPAM, and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view). Then, if you think you can show that the place is notable, apply for a name change. As the school has only been going a short time, and I could find no RS showing notability in the first seven pages of a Google search, it may be too soon. Peridon (talk) 12:10, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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 below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Peridon (talk) 11:59, 19 July 2012 (UTC)
