Speedy deletion nomination of User:Crcarlson/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Crcarlson/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 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Hello
Hello Crcarlson,

A couple of notes. --Floquenbeam (talk) 01:46, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) We get flooded by so much spam here, we can be a little over-aggressive sometimes. I've removed the speedy delete tag on your sandbox.  I'm not sure it would survive as a topic in article space; you should look at our inclusion criteria before spending too much time on it.
 * 2) You userpage falls in the grey area between honest "this is who I am" and promotion. I'm going to remove the speedy tag on it as well, but please bend over backwards to not make it look promotional.  In fact, I'm going to tweak it slightly, but I'm not enforcing that wording, just a suggestion, use your judgement.
 * 3) Please take a look at our conflict of interest guidelines; editing an article you're directly associated with can be extremely treacherous.
 * 4) Welcome, good luck, and please approach editing about your company with discretion.
 * 5) Let me know if you have any questions.
