Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Hames Sharley


A tag has been placed on Draft:Hames Sharley, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.  QueerEcofeminist "cite! even if you fight"!!!

May 2020
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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 09:58, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request. As this is a volunteer project, it is possible for inappropriate articles to go undetected, even for years. We can only address what we know about; once unblocked, you are welcome to point out any inappropriate articles or article content, we could use the help. I had thought your username was a blended form of the company name; if it isn't, the username isn't a problem, but you still need to review conflict of interest if you are editing about your father's company. The sources you provided were the company website(a primary source and press-release type article or routine announcements, which do not establish that your father's company meets Wikipedia's definition of a notable company, and caused me to think that you were a company representative. 331dot (talk) 14:11, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
You did make some unsourced edits to New Norcia, Western Australia in February. Please see WP:42 for sourcing requirements. I find it puzzling that you say "three years". Perhaps you could elaborate? In May, you created Draft:Hames Sharley, which was deleted under WP:G11. Please see User:Deepfriedokra/g11 for my usual deletion notice for G11. Because of the similarity between your user name and the name of that business, it is felt your user name violates WP:CORPNAME. To be unblocked, you will need to choose an individual user name, agree to not edit about Hames Sharley, and describe what constructive edits you would make. Please see User:Deepfriedokra/decline promo for a fuller explanation of my usual unblock conditions for this type of block. Any other admin may modify the conditions for unblock or unblock without discussion without concern for my toes. Cheers,  -- Deep fried okra  User talk:Deepfriedokra 14:12, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * The account was created three years ago, though they didn't edit until this February. 331dot (talk) 14:15, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi, apologies, I meant 3 months. Yes, unsourced, was learning and now know. I have access to their entire archive and was planning on providing sources once I had some more time to upload. Regarding the block. I’m still confused as to if you made the mistake blocking me than why I have to change my username which I use a lot elsewhere. Individual, it can’t get more - is my surname! Wow friendly place this. Sure, there’s a small conflict of interest, but I’d purposely made the page as content as neutral as any other example and hoped others would edit and contribute to it. My draft was written with exactly the same neutrality as either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hassell_(architecture_firm) or dozens of others under Australian Architecture category. And as mentioned they’ve made a huge contribution to Australian architecture over half a century, designed some iconic buildings and been awarded several of the countries highest Institute Of Architects awards, so pretty sure they meet the criteria of being notable... Seems you guys got hung up on a username rather than the article content. Don’t worry, I won’t bother making any positive contributions based on experience so far and the 5 hours of wasted time. I’ll see if I can find somebody else to make the page and recognize their worthy and notable contribution. Great way to onboard new contributors.
 * Finding someone else to make the page is still a conflict of interest, because you would be asking them to do it to avoid your own conflict of interest. I am sorry that you feel unwelcome, that isn't anyone's intention. We are just trying to work to see that policies are adhered to. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

Ok, thanks, could you provide any advice as to how one could go about getting the page added for all the reasons mentioned above? Can one suggest a page be created if they believe it notable? Hamsey75 (talk) 15:13, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You could make a suggestion at Requested Articles, but there are thousands of requests there and it is unlikely that someone would act on your request anytime soon, if ever. Are there any subjects that you want to edit about other than your father's company? 331dot (talk) 15:19, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

331dot (talk) Thanks for the advice. I was planning on making other useful contributions on subjects known to me yes. So I'd appreciate being unblocked.
 * It will help the reviewing admin to know what topics those might be. 331dot (talk) 08:44, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

I was incorrectly, though now understandably blocked for advertising/spam because of the similarity of my username to the company name, however, as established above as I don’t work for the company, I don’t believe it was advertising or spam, yes I have a personal relationship, so I see the conflict of interest now. I have now read that policy and understand I should have gone about creating the article differently. There is a lot to learn about the processes of creating articles on Wikipedia and in my opinion, experienced editors could offer some more helpful assistance, as I thought I was following the feedback suggested and adding citations to prove notability and as mentioned previously was writing very neutrally following the lead of other examples. Though it appears once the username became a red-flag everything escalated based on assumption rather than communication. If an admin had simply pointed out or questioned that they believed there was an issue with my username we could have discussed it and then they could have helpfully suggested an alternate path. I have read up on the Company Username issue now and understand why it was such a red-flag. Knowing what I know now, I would have happily noted my Conflict of Interest in the Drafts Talk page. That said, you’ve asked for what other topics I might contribute to if unblocked, well that could be pretty broad. I could start with pointing out inappropriate articles or article content, as you mentioned you could use the help ;-). Otherwise anything in the design, arts or tech space off the top of my head, before this experience I was looking forward to contributing and look forward to it in the future. Hopefully the above explanation is enough to prove to an Admin that there was nothing malicious in my article creation, simply a now understandable misunderstanding around my username and my failure to disclose a conflict of interest when creating the article. Both of which I’ll make sure don’t happen again. Hamsey75 (talk) 06:14, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

Please read about meatpuppetry. We have no way to know who is sitting at the computer operating a particular account. If two accounts are doing the same thing, we must treat them as if they are the same person. In this case, you asked your guy at work to edit for you because you are blocked. 331dot (talk) 08:24, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, having done some off-wiki digging I am pretty sure that even if the above is true, there is still undisclosed paid editing going on here. The company for which both User:Carlmanson and the owner of this account appears to work for does brand identity and PR work for both the Benedictine Community of New Norcia and Hames Sharely.

Thanks, I will have a read, again jumped to worse case theory, but that’s not what happened at all if you read my message above which I thought did a pretty good job of explaining (though clearly I don’t view the world as though everyone is up to no good, so didn’t see it from that perspective...) I’d simply asked him for his assistance well before I was blocked NOT because I was blocked (rather important difference IMO) when I was first writing the article as I couldn’t work out how to do the info box thing and I was trying to make my first article as good and as useful a contribution as possible. Then the article then got tagged for deletion (when the conclusion re: my username was jumped to) and then I got blocked. In that order. I’m starting to understand why your getting short on volunteers... Why would anyone go to this much trouble? Oh I just saw second message now. Wow! As mentioned I started editing New Norcia first and was going to start including images etc from their library as we’ve done really cool interpretive signage stuff for them and thought it would improve the article. No the Monks aren’t paying me to do that.... Definitely NOT PAID editing - with my experience so far how could anyone make money from that. We’re not hiding what we do, wouldn’t have been hard to do that digging as we’re using our real names! Real masterminds with criminal intent... We don’t do Public Relations in our company, Brand design, build websites, design signage, yes. Had my wiki account since 2017 and had decided to start contributing as mentioned before on subjects I knew about in my spare time. We have heaps of great historic assets and images from lots of interpretive projects. So I started editing on New Norcia first as I could easily see some corrections that would make it better and learn a bit about how to use Wiki. Then couple of months later decided to create an article about my dad’s company as I knew lots about that and thought they should be on there as heaps of their projects have their own wiki pages. Neither of these was in a professional capacity. I give up. My explanations above are sane and logical. Your disproportionate response is not. I’ve wasted enough time on this. Hamsey75 (talk)
