Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I just created this page and am trying to figure out all the "in's and out's of creating a page for information use only. I tried to add a logo as a graphical representation and then landed here. I am unsure why this is considered spamming when I am not using this for a promotional piece, rather just an informational article. I do need some assistance in how to create a page for users to navigate to if requested without being targeted as a spammer.

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: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business or organization listing directory, and is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. 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 if you wish, but if you would prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username  you may appeal this username block by adding the text  below this notice instead. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 13:57, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
