Speedy deletion nomination of User:ChadGuerrant/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ChadGuerrant/sandbox, 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 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. VViking Talk Edits 14:54, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

Warning
I have deleted your sandbox drafts because
 * they did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that you meet the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, as defined in the link, or they will be deleted. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to you or an affiliated organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what you claim or interviewing you. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls.
 * it's not clear how you meet the notability guidelines linked above.
 * they were written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: The skills and experience Chad has acquired... prepared him to become an emerging leader in Michigan politics... has a community-driven focus... Chad Guerrant has what it takes. and so on.
 * there shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections. That's particularly the case when they are spamlinks to affiliated sites.
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when writing about yourself. See guidance for editors with conflicts of interest and writing about yourself.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read your first article.

You have been warned twice about removing speedy deletion notices yourself. There will be no further warnings; next time you will be blocked for disruptive behaviour.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but it appears you have written or added to an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.-- VViking Talk Edits 00:22, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

I'm Sorry, but I or another admin have deleted content from your user space. User:ChadGuerrant has been deleted.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to promote collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service--not a personal website, blog, or social media site, nor are user pages intended to host a fake article, CV/resumé or lengthy autobiography. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia. '''Using Wikipedia for promotional purposes is intensely frowned upon. Doing so can lead to users being blocked from editing'''. Inappropriate/non conforming material may be deleted at any time. More information is available at THIS PAGE.

User sandboxess should not contain promotional material or material unconnected with improving Wikipedia, see above.

User space is not intended to contain articles. Please use the Article_wizard for drafting articles, or use the Articles for creation process. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must have significant verifiable information from reliable sources unconnected with the subject.

You might want to look at Userboxes as a means of telling colleagues about yourself.

User page design center has information that can help you design a user page.

This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:52, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:54, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because it is clear that you are here not to contribute to building the encyclopedia, but to use Wikipedia for promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. You may have originally come to Wikipedia sincerely believing that using it to promote yourself would be acceptable, but after the number of messages you have received and the number of times your self-promotional page has been deleted you cannot possibly have failed to get the point that it isn't. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text at the bottom of this page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Response to your email
I have only just seen your email, even though you sent it six days ago. I apologise for not responding earlier. What you say in your email does give the impression that you have some degree of understanding of what was unacceptable about your editing, so unblocking you may well be acceptable. However, I would also want to see some indication of what kind of editing you might be likely to do if you are unblocked. I suggest that you follow the instructions above on how to request an unblock, and in your unblock request both include an indication that you understand why your previous editing was unacceptable, as you did in your email, and try to give an indication of what kind of editing you expect to do if unblocked. I also advise you that the likelihood of any administrator unblocking you will be very low if it seems probable that you are planning to write about yourself, because writing about oneself is strongly discouraged by Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest and autobiographies.
