Welcome!
Hello, GeeksForLess, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GeeksForLess


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:GeeksForLess, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This 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 or advertising space. 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 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. Toadette (chat)/(logs) 13:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because this is a brief description of the company. There is no promotion in the article, only links to sources.GeeksForLess (talk) 13:18, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Bbb23 (talk) 13:38, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * This is absurd! Yes, I am a company representative and I want to add information about my company to Wikipedia. How can this be a promotion? Then delete articles about Google, Microsoft and other big companies. They are also engaged in promotion. In the article, I didn't call for using only our services. You write some nonsense. Then delete all articles of all companies because their articles can also be considered as a promotion. GeeksForLess (talk) 14:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Using Wikipedia to publicize your company's existence is promotion. Wikipedia is not a business directory, so a company is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of a company, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the company must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:57, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Then how can I add information about my company without talking about it? And how will my company become known and covered in the media if even Wikipedia does not want to post information about it? What information do I need to add about my company to be published? I added a simple basic information. Then I would add interesting facts about my company. I didn't intend to use Wikipedia as a business directory, I just wanted to add an article about my company.

 * First, as the block notice says, you won't be allowed to edit with an account name that matches your company's name. Wikipedia accounts are meant for individuals - not companies, organizations, or groups of people. As such, account names must therefore reflect individual use. You have to request an unblock using the template.
 * Secondly, administrators will not unblock your account if your only intention is to write about your own company. They will want you to commit to first editing topics that are unrelated to your company, so that you can build up a constructive edit history and gain an understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. In time, you might then be allowed to create a draft article using the Articles for Creation process, which includes a review step by neutral editors.
 * Thirdly, your point of "how will my company become known and covered in the media"... that's not Wikipedia's problem. Wikipedia isn't something that you use to gain notability... Wikipedia only includes topics that are already notable, as evidenced by already having significant coverage in reliable sources. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:17, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay, here's an example of a company article that not many people know https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/ScienceSoft . How is the information in this article and about this company different from mine? The same basic information about the company. Please delete it. It is spammy and clearly created for the promotion of the company. GeeksForLess (talk) 16:00, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Simple English Wikipedia is considered a separate project from this project, English Wikipedia. However, your point is taken - that article doesn't look to be worthy of inclusion. I have requested that it be deleted. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:43, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
