Speedy deletion nomination of Elekshop.com


A tag has been placed on Elekshop.com, 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/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, 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: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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (talk) 00:00, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

I was unaware that making a page about my website was against the rules.. I was following an SEO guide for new business and it told me to make a page here to get a backlink.. I'm sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by talk:ElekShop (talk • contribs)

Did that guide also mention that we routinely blacklist sites that get spammed here and that Google uses our blacklist to penalize them when computing PageRank? That being said, now that you know that what you did was wrong, what are your editing plans if unblocked? Max Semenik (talk) 11:41, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Max.. No it did not. I don't spam my site anywhere.. I was trying to do it legitimately. Hundreds of thousands of companies have a page about them so I naturally assumed it was ok for me to as well.. Obviously I was mistaken. Maybe I'm not big enough or did not submit it in the correct format, based on the rules..

Needless to say though I promise I was not trying to break any rules, and I was wrong to contribute my page without reading them properly. I apologize for that and assure you I had honest intentions.

I will be sure to follow the rules to the letter should I be allowed another chance.

P.S I am posting from work as I was unable to use my other account as it said my IP was blocked from replying.. Thanks for your time and sorry again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.253.79.2 (talk) 13:07, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

That's an extremely ignorant conclusion to draw based on a single offense..? Nowhere did I state I wished to make further promotional edits? It was a genuine mistake.. I could quite easily make new accounts, I merely wanted to clear my name.. I'm not trying nor did I mean to break the rules in the first place.. Whatever.. I understand I guess. Thanks for reminding me of 'humanity at its best'.. Not everyone is out to 'cheat the system'. Meh.
 * If I see any other accounts created to add links to your business or attempt to recreate the page, I will quickly add the URL to our spam blacklist. That probably will not be SEO-optimal. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:24, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
