Speedy deletion nomination of EBA Communications


A tag has been placed on EBA Communications, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of EBA Communications and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. MKoltnow 03:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

 * Have you read this? You're not allowed to create articles about an entity that you are involved in yourself.  If your organization is notable enough, then someone will eventually create an article about that business.  You may occasionally correct some misinformation, put using Wikipedia to publicize your company is verboten.  Because your username is related to a company, and perhaps suggests a role account (ie. many people might share it) it is not permitted.  If you want to do a username change, there's a specific unblock for that- however, you will still be subject to the same Conflict of Interest rules.

 * If you think you've found promotional articles, we could use help with the clean-up: it's hard to keep up with all of them sometimes, though we try! You could use your personal account to nominate the ones about non-notable companies for deletion and to rewrite the ones about notable companies to make them more neutral- it's useful work that we definitely need more volunteers for.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I reviewed the list of articles you flagged. One of them seems to be about a non-notable company, so I nominated it for deletion.  Another is promotional in tone; I'll have to look back at it later as I don't have time for a rewrite at the moment.  The others seem to be neutral and adequately sourced; I didn't see any required action there. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
