Speedy deletion nomination of User:Green Car Design


A tag has been placed on User:Green Car Design, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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 such groups are generally discouraged from using 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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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. TN X Man 15:02, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi, my name is Hannah I am the edtior and founder of Green Car Design. I was away when this page was created and obviously something has gone wrong. We merely wanted to create a page similar to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Design_News or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_magazine or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top_Gear_Magazine or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallpaper_%28magazine%29 or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Trader_%28UK%29 as a reference page to what we do. There was no intention to use it as an advertising platform. It is a topic that is very important in the automotive world and will become historic therefore should be documented not only by us but others who wish to add to the page. We have even been used as a reference in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Schreyer. As I cannot see what my staff wrote on the page I cannot see where the discrepancies are between the aforementioned pages and ours, or where the page appears to be 'blatant advertising' or not. I would ask you kindly to unblock the page, even for a limited time, so I can review it personally in accordance with Wiki guidelines. Please advise me if a page such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Design_News is appropriate for my reference.

Many thanks for your understanding! Hannah Green Car Design (talk) 22:42, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

This page should not be speedily deleted because...Hi, my name is Hannah and I wrote to you on the 24th of October requesting you unblock our page. As I have been away from my work for a week I was not present when my staff incorrectly edited this page causing it to look as an advertisement rather that a wiki page. As per my previous message our aim is not to advertise but to inform about this topic, green car design. I have identified the words they used that might have made the entry seem more like an advert and would like the opportunity to rebuild our page. I think you will find that the topic, no just our magazine, is important and will have historic importance in due course. We are also very keen to start a conversation and receive contributions about this topic from other sources. Please allow us to continue with our efforts to inform about green design and its importance to the environment! We have sent a few examples of the kind of page we aim to develop, such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_Design_News, but think that we would like to also contribute information about the development and history of green car design as the current information is spread out and out of context. Please let us know so we can get building. Thanks. HannahGreen Car Design (talk) 12:30, 31 October 2011 (UTC)
