User talk:Cross Counties Radio (The Sunflower Community Radio Association)

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Cross Counties Radio (The Sunflower Community Radio Association), 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, 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 deletion 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. Lugia2453 (talk) 17:58, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...

IT IS A VOLUNTARY NOT FOR PROFIT CLUB AIMED AT COMMUNITIES ... WE ARE NOT SELLING A PRODUCT

WE ARE NOT TRYING TO SPAM ANYONE ... THIS INFORMATION IS OF GENERAL USEFULLNESS TO PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN OUR PART OF LEICESTERSHIRE AND WARWICKSHIRE

IT IS NOT A BUSINESS ... IF YOU DELETE THIS PAGE YOU SHOULD ALSO DELETE PAGES FOR LEICESTER SOUND, BBC RADIO LEICESTER, TAKEOVER RADIO AND ALL OF THE OTHER RADIO STATIONS IN THE COUNTY THAT ARE BUSINESSES ... I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW YOU CAN ALLOW THEM AND NOT OURS ????

THIS COULD BE SOMETHING I WISH TO LOOK AT LEGAL ACTION AS THIS IS CLEARLY RESTRICTIVE PRACTISE

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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, person 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) 18:10, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

If you set up an individual account, please note that any legal threat results in an immediate block until the threat is unequivocally withdrawn or any legal action is concluded - see No legal threats.

Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This applies to all organizations, see Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause.

For other useful information, see:
 * Conflict of interest and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard
 * Your first article

If you create an individual account, your user page should be used to say something, if you choose, about yourself and your Wikipedia activities. If you want to make an encyclopedia article about Cross Counties Radio, and have enough independent references, you should use the Articles for creation route so that it can be reviewed by an uninvolved user.
