User talk:East Oakland Sports Center

November 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "East Oakland Sports Center", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:24, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of East Oakland Sports Center


A tag has been placed on East Oakland Sports Center, 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. GILO  A& E&uArr;  21:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The username you've picked and your contributions appear to represent a group, organization or website, so I blocked this username per our username policy, but don't let that discourage you: please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. We consider it a conflict of interest if you edit on behalf of your group, organization or website, and we delete new pages that appear promotional or that fail to state significance appropriate for an encyclopedia. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you're welcome to ask for a second opinion by adding the text below this notice. If I can help you with anything, please log in to your new account and ask on my talk page. Thanks for your understanding. - Dank (push to talk) 23:16, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
