User talk:ILVE appliances

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ILVE appliances


A tag has been placed on User:ILVE appliances, 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, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:ILVE appliances and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. Mean as custard (talk) 06:50, 4 April 2011 (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; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Feezo (send a signal | watch the sky) 06:56, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Please review wikipedia for ILVE
To whom it may concern,

Could you please allow me to edit the ILVE appliances wikipedia page.

I acknowledge that it was too advertising oriented, but it was only a draft.

I will remove the entire product page, and summarise this content in one paragraph in the revised edition.

Look forward to hearing from you soon,

Cheers,

Benoit

Hello,

There are really three problems &mdash; first, the reason you were blocked was not because of advertising, but because your username, ILVE appliances, appears to represent an organization. For licensing reasons, Wikipedia accounts are required to represent individuals. Although this account has been permanently blocked, you're welcome to create a new account; see our Username policy for more information.

Secondly, the page that was deleted appeared to have been copied from another website, which makes it potentially a copyright violation. If you wrote the material on the other website yourself, this is obviously not the case, but in order for it to be used on Wikipedia, it must be donated; see linked page for details.

Finally, as you correctly surmise, it was too promotional; Wikipedia articles are required to be written from a neutral point of view. If you plan write about the company under a new username, you are encouraged to use our articles for creation process, which helps ensure that new articles meet Wikipedia's guidelines, reducing the likelihood that they will be subsequently deleted.

Let me know if this answers your questions,

Hi Freezo,

Thanks for your speedy reply. You are correct in saying that ILVE appliances sounds like it is representing an organization (we look after their PR). What we would like to do is create a wikipedia page like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smeg_(appliances), or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Bosch_GmbH.

You are also correct in suggesting that we have copied the content from our website that we wrote, without adding citations.

I have tried other user names such as ILVE (appliances) and ILVE, however both have been disallowed.

Is there any way in which our original Wikipedia account can be re-activated, with all the amendments required?

Once again i thank you for your time.

Cheers,

 * No. Your latest reply shows you do not understand the purpose of Wikipedia, and have not read any of the preceding posts. . . Mean as custard (talk) 07:32, 7 April 2011 (UTC)
