Speedy deletion nomination of User:Currency Credits


A tag has been placed on User:Currency Credits, 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 this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance 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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  18:12, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. SPhilbrick T  18:50, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Question for administrator
We regret having used a business name and have removed it in the edited text. We have submitted an explanation of what we believe is helpful information for any potential user of any supporting, alternative or complementary currency and welcome / invite anyone with an understanding of the mechanics of currency to contribute to the article in order to get the "intrinsic value" message out to any member of the publci that may have an interest in researching and/or using such currencies for the purchase of real goods and services (not virtual goods and services). As a first time user, sorry for any inconvenience caused. Linda Iverson San Jose CA --Currency Credits (talk) 19:14, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Please treat this as no big deal. It happens literally a dozen or so times a day. I fully appreciate that some might believe that picking a name related to the subject matter would be a positive in terms of transparency. It's a legitimate position, but we've taken a different approach, and want contributors to be anonymous with respect to their connections to the subject. Create a new user name, and try again. Consider starting a draft article in user space, which is easy to do using the Article Wizard. That will allow you to work on a draft with less concern for the deletionists, and post to Requests for feedback when you think it is ready.
 * Having said that, I'm not sure whether you have a formal question, or just wanted to make the comment.-- SPhilbrick  T  19:40, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Not hearing any clarification, I'm going to close the question.-- SPhilbrick  T  20:18, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Next steps.
The article Currency Credits, is not acceptable in its present state. You might check in at WikiProject Economics and talk to one of the participants, who might be willing to work with you to get an article up to snuff.-- SPhilbrick  T  19:53, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
