Speedy deletion nomination of User:CalRecycle


A tag has been placed on User:CalRecycle, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because we are a state agency, The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, known as CalRecycle (a department within the California Environmental Protection Agency) that is responsible for the oversight for all of California’s state-managed waste handling and recycling programs. We were previously the California Integrated Waste Management Board, with a Wiki entry here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Integrated_Waste_Management_Board. We created a new page to reflect the agency today -- it is notated within the text with a link back to the above. Please advise California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery, known as CalRecycle 22:48, 28 July 2014 (UTC).

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 22:52, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
