Speedy deletion nomination of Epic Sedan Service


A tag has been placed on Epic Sedan Service, 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 00:07, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

November 2016
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.  Acroterion   (talk)   00:18, 9 November 2016 (UTC)

I did not realize at the time of the posts that they were considered spam. Now that I have been provided with the advertising or promotion guidelines, I will not violate them in the future.
 * You did not realize that "At [XYZ], students can train to be a Brazilian jiu-jitsu world champion, professional fighter, or just have a ton of fun" or "demonstrated capability to provide safe and amenable transport for our clientele" or "she is able to help other small businesses achieve their entrepreneurial dreams" would be seen as blatantly promotional? You thought copy-pasting an "About us" page would be okay, both from a copyright point of view and because that's the appropriate tone for an encyclopedia? I have turned on the help template so that another admin may take a look (you maybe meant to use the template), but I find that explanation very hard to believe.

I did not realize that it was a violation of Wikipedia's policy's at the time of my post. Yes, I now see how it is a violation. This is my first time posting or using an account on the site. In no way did I intended of violating the rules, I was just unaware of them at the time of the post. Now that they have been communicated, and that I understand it is a violation, I will be sure to follow the guidelines moving forward.


 * Can you provide examples of specific articles or edits you plan to contribute? ~ Rob 13 Talk 05:38, 20 November 2016 (UTC)


 * A few words of advice, which I hope may help you. I hope you can be unblocked, and contribute constructively to the encyclopaedia from now on, but there are possible problems. Your current username coincides with the name of what you call a "marketing agency", and your editing so far has clearly been an attempt to use Wikipedia for marketing. While writing about marketing would clearly be a very different matter, experience shows that in situations such as this, a blocked editor who is unblocked then very often continues to edit in ways which are marketing. In fact, experience over the years indicates that many people who work in marketing seem to be so used to marketing-speak that they become blind to it, and produce it even when they really sincerely do not intend to write in a promotional way. Probably that sort of experience goes a long way towards explaining why many administrators are cautious about unblocking in this kind of situation. I suggest that your best way of improving your chance of being unblocked is to take up BU Rob13's suggestion of giving specific examples of edits you would like to make. If you do so, the more specific the better: for example, say in the article XYZ I would replace the words "foo foo foo" with "baa baa baa bass baa".

Thank you James and Rob, this has been helpful. First, I have requested a user name change above. After reading the guidelines I understand that BoBella is not the ideal username for my account. I have requested to change my username to JenGirlie. Second, I was looking at an article yesterday and noticed an update is needed: in the article "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melrose_Place#endnote_7" I would update "On April 1, 2011, all seven seasons of the show were made available to view on Netflix's subscription internet streaming service." to also say that: the show was removed from Netflix in July of 2015. Also, in the article "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand#Brand_identity" for Brand elements, I would use a more well known example for "colors:" such as the instant recognition consumers have when they see Tiffany & Co.’s robin’s egg blue (Pantone No. 1837 on the Matching System chart) and link to "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany_Blue". Tiffany & Co.’s trademarked the color in 1998. (reference - http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/how-tiffany-s-iconic-box-became-world-s-most-popular-package-160228).


 * I've unblocked you on the expectation that you will not return to creating promotional articles. If that were to re-occur, a second indefinite block would be unlikely to be lifted. ~ Rob 13 Talk 07:55, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
