Speedy deletion nomination of User:GoodfellazCigars/Goodfellaz cigars


A tag has been placed on User:GoodfellazCigars/Goodfellaz cigars, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance 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.  My 76 Strat  04:33, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Hang On
I'm requesting that the administrators hold off on immediately deleting this page. We are working to provide solid facts on how African Americans have contributed and are quickly becoming involved with Cigars and the Cigar Industry. Our magazine will provide financial literacy for our community. Visitors to our website can create their own profiles, and provide their own authentic experiences with Cigars. We are providing a voice to people usually not displayed or highlighted within the Cigar industry. We also will provide examples of how music, politicians and influential people across the world from all backgrounds enjoy cigars. Our company will highlight all of that. Please give us a chance.


 * No. None of the reasons above have anything to do with the WP:CORP criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia. Wikipedia does not exist to provide a promotion or publicity channel, and it does not exist to aid organizations to do their work. Bottom line, you must demonstrate that your company is notable (again, see WP:CORP) before you can write an article about it.


 * Also, read Conflict of interest, which you clearly have, as well as Username policy, which you have violated with your username. Because you seem to be here for the purpose of promotion, I am indefinitely blocking this account. See the message below for details, especially if you wish to contest the block. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:01, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Blocked
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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, please see how to appeal a block. ~Amatulić (talk) 06:02, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

Unaware
I would like to apologize for attempting to add my article about Goodfellaz Cigars Corporation. I clearly did not review the specifics about the promotional subjects. etc. I understand why I have been blocked from adding articles. And I understand why I have been blocked.


 * Thank you for your understanding. If you are interested in contributing to Wikipedia in any other way, you can post an unblock request to allow you to create a new account with your own username. Or you can create an account from another IP address. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:34, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
