Speedy deletion nomination of User:LivIrishFest


A tag has been placed on User:LivIrishFest, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

August 2019
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 your talk 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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

The Centre is another organisation and does not run the Festival. This could become very confusing for their Chair and Management team, who I also work with as partners!Emma Smith, Director, Liverpool Irish Festival (talk) 15:10, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Emma Smith, Director, Liverpool Irish Festival (talk) 13:50, 14 August 2019 (UTC)Hi again. I asked for a change in user name to better suit Wiki's needs. It was changed, but to Liverpool Irish Centre, not Festival. This is a different organisation and so does not represent me or my work fairly. I am still blocked and need to work out what can be done about this, given that a user name change appeared favourable and I am planning on adding information about the organisation, rather that trying to use it as a promotional venture. Please can someone help me? Many thanks, EmmaEmma Smith, Director, Liverpool Irish Festival (talk) 13:50, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
Generally, we do not allow representatives of an organization to edit about the organization. The deleted content was promotional in nature. Please see user:dlohcierekim/g11 for links to information on avoiding promotional content. Please read and heed WP:COI AND WP:PAID. I left the unblock request for another admin to review, but no one else did. Ggenerally, I would decline with the message at User:Dlohcierekim/decline promo renamed. . What are your thoughts on unblocking?--  Dloh cier  ekim    05:40, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Hi and thanks for the ping. I 100% agree with User:Dlohcierekim/decline promo renamed. I would like Ms. Smith to explain in her own words how she would edit Wikipedia following our COI guidelines. Per the unblock request, she seems to want to continue editing about the festival. Ms. Smith, please understand that the encyclopedia doesn't need to help your clients, even if your clients need business, which they can find by advertising on their own web sites. What other topics would you edit to improve the encyclopedia that weren't related to your festival? HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 05:57, 18 August 2019 (UTC)
