Speedy deletion nomination of User:Eshabraille/Esha - People for the Blind


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Eshabraille/Esha - People for the Blind, 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 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.

July 2016
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, 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.

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 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:15, 28 July 2016 (UTC)

Following from your help page comments, here are my replies. There are two separate issues.
 * You are not allowed to use the name of a company or organisation as your user name, or for that matter to operate any shared account. You can only edit as an individual. The procedure for appealing the block is in the pink box above. It's unlikely you will be allowed to keep your current name, but you could ask, subject to certain undertakings, to be allowed to choose a different user name. If you do, the request will be considered by a different admin

The second issue is the article itself. I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting.
 * you gave two references, but one did not mention your organisation and the other appears to be a dead link
 * it's all about what the organisation sells, little about the organisation itself, not even the locations of its headquarters and offices ("India" is a bit vague). To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, funding and expenditure.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. It's nonsense to suggest that you can't be promoting because you are not selling anything. If I say "Vote for Clinton/Corbyn/Modi" that's obvious promotion even if I'm not getting paid. Your help page comment "Our intention behind making a Wiki entry was just to spread awareness" is exactly what promotion means. Your article essentially consists of a list of the products and services you sell, nothing else
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when editing this article, and even if you are unblocked, you must declare it. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * Since you work directly or indirectly for the organisation, or otherwise are acting on its behalf, you are very strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are paid directly or indirectly by the organisation you are writing about, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:    . If you are being compensated, please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message.

Hello

Like we mentioned, we don't want to request a review of the deletion of the page at all. We do not wish to be on Wiki. So your reasons perhaps make sense to the community at Wiki, but that's not a discussion I want to have. About the user name: Adding content relevant to the sector is part of our organisational initiative to spread awareness about VI. If organisational IDs are not allowed by Wiki, we completely respect that and withdraw the request to review. Like I've mentioned, I was not personally involved in the creation of the page, and don't know what was there. The first I heard of a Wiki page for Esha was from your message. So please treat this as the end of the thread. We exit from Wiki completely and will not be contributing or participating any more. Thank you for your time. 122.173.101.167 (talk) 00:03, 31 July 2016 (UTC)
