User talk:DeauvilleBeachResort

July 2016
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  22:57, 22 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Are you sure the username is acceptable? It is already taken?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  07:47, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * User:Huon; I also just noticed that it's a largely copied from this. OhNo itsJamie Talk 13:10, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I did not check availability; I just wanted to note that the proposed username would agree with the username policy. Since it's no longer available, another username will have to be chosen, but given the editor's singular interest in seeing a hotel whose glorious history is mainly documented on its own Facebook page represented on Wikipedia, I'm rather skeptical. Huon (talk) 17:32, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Here are a few key questions:


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the three important principles above. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:06, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I Understand all of this above. I would like to change my name because it violates the policy, but I do want to make it clear that the post I made was not intended to advertise this business. The hotel I work at is considered to be a significantly historic hotel and there was not an existing page for it, which is why I was asked to make one.
 * Do you explicitly agree to not try to make a page about your place of employment again? OhNo itsJamie Talk 22:49, 25 July 2016 (UTC)

I Agree to these terms, but can you suggest to me how the hotel can go about getting a page created for it? Also, the text for our page is related to that text you linked to on our Facebook page because that iss the main piece of written text the hotel has documenting its history.
 * Notable topics eventually get written about by neutral parties by virtue of their notability alone. In other words, there's nothing you can do to get the hotel written about in Wikipedia. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:21, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Is they're someone that can speak over email or phone to the general manager at the hotel? I explained all of the above to them and they would like to speak with someone asap.
