Speedy deletion nomination of Empire Online (Games)


A tag has been placed on Empire Online (Games), 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 11, 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 Empire Online (Games) 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. -- Rrburke (talk) 15:10, 22 October 2010 (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 below this notice the text. Thank you. TN X Man 15:20, 22 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm hoping that you have read the conflict of interest guidelines - you should not be writing about the company or products of a company you're involved in at all. Here's a template I often use in these cases:

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 09:43, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

First, I have moved this to the BOTTOM of the page - all new entries to a talkpage should be added at the bottom. Second, as per Wikipedia policy, the same administrator who blocks you does not review your unblock, and a previous reviewer willnot generally re-review a future unblock. In other words, the next admin who comes along will read the previous unblock requests, your replies, and make a new decision. Third, if you are related at all in any way shape or form to the game, do not write an article about it. You may correct info in an existing article if it clearly wrong, but as per COI, you should not create it. Fourth, we have no issues with game-related articles on Wikipedia - we have entire projects related to games. The key, however, is notability. For example, Metal Gear Solid is notable for many reasons. Fifth, you're correct: the minute an "article" sounds like an advertisement and makes unsourced claims, it's promotional and wrong. Sixth, you don't need notable sources, you need reliable sources. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 09:11, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
