Speedy deletion nomination of User:Breakin' League


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Breakin' League, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. 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 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. 331dot (talk) 22:37, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (This page is not promoting or publicising a company, product, group or service, it just serves as a information page for people to know more about the competition, not for campaign or anything, please don't delete the page) --Breakin&#39; League (talk) 22:40, 21 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Hello; you have created the page on your user page, which is not articles space. It seems to me that you may have intended to create an article with the title "Breakin' League" but instead registered it as your username.  I would suggest that you change your username(as a league is an organization) using the link provided a couple of posts up.  Click the words "this form".
 * Regarding the page itself, please note that merely providing information is a form of promotion and not permitted. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia articles must do more, they must indicate with independent reliable sources how the subject is notable. 331dot (talk) 22:54, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, I understand all what you are talking about, I have requested for a change in username, when will the effect take place?
 * It should occur soon, but it's hard to state exactly when as everything here is done by volunteers. I've seen it take anywhere from minutes to hours.
 * I might suggest that you visit Articles for Creation and create your page using the process laid out there, which also provides an opportunity for feedback and the chance to keep working on it until it is ready for posting. I'll also post some welcome links before which provide information for those new at creating an article. 331dot (talk) 23:02, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

April 2017
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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:13, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
