User talk:Earn2Learn

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Earn2Learn, 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. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a &#123;&#123;Talkback&#125;&#125; message on my talk page. @ 19:47, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. 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 this page. 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 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 below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JohnCD (talk) 20:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because the intent is to address truancy, a critical problem in education today. Earn2Learn believes that the proprietary and unique process of Earn2Learn will foster financial literacy and real-world incentives taught at the junior high-school, high-school and college levels and give students the ability to learn the value of accountability, in order to prepare young adults for success.

Thank you for your consideration.

 * That's still CSD G11. --ToonLucas22 (talk) 20:45, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

There are three points here: JohnCD (talk) 23:00, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and accounts whose usernames are the names of groups or organizations are not permitted.
 * Wikipedia is selective about article subjects: the inclusion criterion is called Notability and is not a matter of saying so but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
 * Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform, or a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and their products. Even with an individual username, in any editing concerning Earn2Learn you would have a Conflict of interest, and should read that page and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
