Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (Hi there, thanks for alerting me to the fact that this page could qualify for speedy deletion.

As I understand from the message, the reason this page appears to be commercially motivated is due to the username. The reason I used this name is because I was under the impression that your username becomes the main heading of the page, I don't see any option for changing the main heading, the drop-down menu only has options for subheadings.

If it is indeed the username that is the issue, I'm happy to change it, I just need to find out how to specify the main heading, if you could assist me in doing this I'd be grateful.

I've spent a fair bit of time on this page so it would be a shame to lose everything. Hopefully we can resolve this.

Thank you.) --Hayes and Jarvis Travel Ltd (talk) 15:38, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 15:53, 9 July 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are here to help build an encyclopedia and are personally responsible for their edits. Usernames representing groups or companies are not permitted. One reason for that is that company accounts are invariably here for self-promotional purposes, and Wikipedia is very resistant to being used like that: an encyclopedia is not a "notice-board" site like Myspace or Facebook which people and companies use to "tell the world" about themselves.


 * User pages are for the individual users to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia work, to help communication within the project. They are not for "substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia".


 * It seems likely that you are the same person as user who posted much the same material on their user page this morning. If so, you do not need to set up a new account, as that username is acceptable. If you send me a message from that account, or from a new one, I will if you like "userfy" your page - move it into a subpage in your userspace where you can work on it. It needs to look less like a company press-release and, in particular, it needs to establish Notability, a requirement for any article, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the company thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also the WP:FAQ/Organizations.


 * If you are connected with the company, that gives you from Wikipedia's point of view a Conflict of interest in writing about it, and before doing so you should read the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 16:50, 9 July 2013 (UTC)
