User talk:Corto kino

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Corto kino, 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 a company, product, group or service, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RolandR (talk) 09:25, 14 May 2013 (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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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. JohnCD (talk) 09:37, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Corto kino (talk) 09:38, 14 May 2013 (UTC) the owners of this page realize that wikipedia is an excellent place to promote events. Corto Kino is a international film fest where participants from all over the world compete to show their best works, the entry fee for this event is zero(0) and hence its not an advertisement but only providing users info about the same. We hope that people at wikipedia will realize our situation and will take the best decision possible which is in the best interest of both "Corto Kino" and Wikipedia.

Thanks and Regards, Corto Kino team


 * Sorry, Wikipedia is not "an excellent place to promote events", it is a project to build an encyclopedia and is specifically not for advertising or promotion of any kind, even of non-commercial events - see Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause. There are many places on the internet like Myspace, Facebook and Youtube where you can promote your event - see WP:Alternative outlets for some other ideas. JohnCD (talk) 09:50, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
