Speedy deletion nomination of User:EM Voices


A tag has been placed on User:EM Voices, 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 encyclopedic. 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.

Account blocked
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. 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. Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:36, 31 July 2012 (UTC)


 * To answer your first question, Wikipedia is not a free advertising service. Both the pages you created were unambiguous promotion, as you must have been aware when you wrote them, and use of Wikipedia for promotion is contrary to our policy. That is why the pages were deleted. Although the blocking administrator chose to give you a block notice that mentioned only the username issue, there are in fact two other problems with your editing. I have already mentioned the problem of posting promotional content. The other issue is conflict of interest. Wikipedia seeks to provide information from an independent, third party, perspective, and essentially we agree not to write articles about ourselves, our own clubs, businesses, or anything else in which we have a close involvement. If you wish to be unblocked you will have to indicate that you intend to contribute to the encyclopaedia in ways other than posting material about your company. Also, although it is not a reason for the block, you should be aware of Wikipedia's notability policy. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information about anything, and for a topic to be the subject of an article it must have a substantial amount of published coverage in third party reliable sources to show notability. My brief web searches for information about EM Voices have produced the company's own web site, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, various promotional sites, etc etc, but nothing to suggest that the business has the sort of substantial coverage in independent third party reliable sources that is required. My conclusion is that the subject almost certainly does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria, and if that is the case then whatever you do, any article about it is likely to be deleted.
