Speedy deletion nomination of Greycomm Studios


A tag has been placed on Greycomm Studios, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so 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 the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. &mdash;  Abhishek  Talk  17:21, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Greycomm Studios
- SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:31, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Greycomm Studios. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's . Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:33, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Greycomm Studios, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:39, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Reported to AIV
Hi Greycomm, this is a notice to let you know that I have reported the issue of you removing speedy deletion templates to administrators. An administrator should assess the report in a short while, and they will take any appropriate actions. Please wait for an administrator before taking any further actions yourself. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 17:44, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Greycomm Studios, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Calabe1992 (talk) 17:44, 3 October 2011 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. I have now blocked you, since you didn't stop removing the deletion template from Greycomm Studios. In addition, your username appears to be promotional and/or intended to represent the organization; neither of those are ok. In order to be unblocked, you will need to commit to no longer edit warring over deletion templates and you will need to state that upon being unblocked, you will request a username change to a username that does not promote your organization. Please note that we have a rule that an account can belong to only one person; if multiple people are sharing this account in the name of the Greycomm, that is not allowed either, and you will not be unblocked until the account is used by one person only.

In reply to your e-mail
Hi Greycomm, in reponse to your email:

You should contact the administrator who deleted your article to discuss what was wrong with it, since I didn't handle the deletion and don't know why they made the decision they did - it looks like the person who deleted it was user:Amatulic.

With regard to your block, there are a couple of issues here:
 * 1) You continually removed speedy deletion templates from your article, despite repeated warnings that this wasn't allowed. For this alone, you could have been blocked, because your behavior in edit warring to remove the template was disruptive.
 * 2) Your account name matches the title of the organization you're writing about. This means that you appear to represent that organization, which raises two possible problems. First, a username that matches an organization name is considered promotional, and is prohibited by our username guidelines. Second, if you're editing on behalf of the organization, it's possible that there is not only one person operating the account (as opposed to a team of people who are in charge of handling internet-related stuff). This, too, isn't allowed, because for attribution purposes, each account must be linked to one and only one person.
 * 3) In addition, the combination of the username and your behavior makes it look like you might be editing Wikipedia with the purpose of promoting Greycomm Studios. We don't allow advertisement or promotion on Wikipedia.

So what needs to happen if you want to be unblocked are a few things:
 * 1) You need to understand that you cannot edit war to keep things you don't like out of articles you create (or any articles, for that matter). If someone adds a speedy deletion template to an article you create, you can't just remove it. If someone makes a change that you don't like to an article, you can't just delete that change.
 * 2) You will need to change your username, period. Now, you can't request a username change until you're unblocked, so what you need to do for now is let us know here on your talk page what username you'd like to use, and then when and if you're unblocked, you can go make the actual request.
 * 3) You will need to assure us of a few things related to how you intend to edit: does only one person have access to your account? Do you understand that you are not allowed to use Wikipedia to promote your organization? Do you understand our neutrality guidelines and conflict of interest guidelines and intend to follow them? Do you understand that you do not and will never "own" any article you create, even if it's about your organization, and do you intend to accept that people might edit your articles, or even nominate them for deletion, and you don't have any superior right to stop them from doing that?

If you can assure us of all those things, please read our guide to requesting unblocking and add an unblock request template here on your talk page, explaining that you understand where you went wrong, what you intend to change your username to, and that you will not behave disruptively in the future, and I or another administrator will unblock you if it appears you understand how to edit non-disruptively in the future.
