Speedy deletion nomination of User:Horological Society of New York


A tag has been placed on User:Horological Society of New York, 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. Bossjeff (talk) 20:37, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

July 2019
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 about some topic other than 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) 21:02, 17 July 2019 (UTC)

Addressing edits for the Horological Society of New York
Horological Society of New York (talk) 15:42, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Interested persons are free to learn about your organization from social media operated by its representatives, or its own website. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state about organizations, not in what an organization wants to say about itself. You cannot copy text from its website unless it is properly donated per the instructions at WP:DCP(which involves giving up certain rights to it). You have not proposed a new username; please reread the block notice and follow the instructions there. 331dot (talk) 15:59, 18 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your response, 331dot. I understand what you're saying, but if that's the case, can you explain why American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute, Antiquarian Horological Society, British Horological Institute, Chronometrophilia, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Chronometrie, and the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors all have dedicated Wikipedia pages? They can all be found under "Organizations" in the horology Wikipedia page. If it's because I am familiar with the Horological Society of New York then the source accreditation doesn't need to come from me. Thank you Horological Society of New York (talk) 16:17, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Those articles (not just "pages") are not written by representatives of those organizations(unless you have evidence that they were). You state that you are "familiar" with this organization, but you used its name as your username, which suggests you are its representative.  What exactly is your association with this organization? 331dot (talk) 16:26, 18 July 2019 (UTC)


 * I cannot confirm who was resonsible for writing the articles. I am one of the directors, but again, my intention was to add the organization for educational purposes. If this is an issue I would like to delete the account altogether. As you mentioned, we can find other avenues to share our nonprofit and how it benefits the community. Thank you for your time.:::Horological Society of New York (talk) 17:05, 18 July 2019 (UTC)


 * Accounts cannot be deleted(for legal reasons), if you no longer wish to edit Wikipedia, simply abandon your account. 331dot (talk) 17:14, 18 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, you do not appear to have read the link I sent you via UTRS. User:Dlohcierekim/decline promo spells out the conditions we usually set forth for unblocking under these circumstances. As always, any admin can disregard if they think it best. Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:12, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
