User talk:Kevin at The DJ Shop

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Kevin at The DJ Shop, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 331dot (talk) 14:25, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm 331dot. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to User:Kevin at The DJ Shop because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 14:25, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I believe I have kept the page factual and not promotional as it portrays my journey through my company. I have done this through the use of historic data, incorporating awards and other information. If you still do not allow me my page (on the basis you believe me and my company name to not match your criteria), are you able to explain why the company 'Beatport' is allowed a Wikipedia page as I believe them to be an online store. --Kevin at The DJ Shop (talk) 14:37, 10 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Your userpage is not article space and is not supposed to be used for promotional purposes. There are also conflict of interest issues in creating a page about your own business.  Other stuff exists and each page stands on its own merits- but the page you mention seems to have independent reliable sources that indicate something notable or significant about it; it is also not promotional in nature. 331dot (talk) 16:20, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
