Speedy deletion nomination of Le edge


A tag has been placed on Le edge, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the 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 visit the the page's talk 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Nik the  stoned  07:05, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Le edge
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Le edge, a page you have created yourself.

This will allow you to make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 07:15, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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, please see how to appeal a block.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:25, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for email. Several issues.
 * You were blocked from using this account name because it is not allowed to use names of organisations. That is construed as advertising. The box above explains the policy, tells you how to appeal if you think your user name is not that of a company, and how to set up a new username.


 * I deleted the article because Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising platform. Your article said nothing about the company, it just described the product and its use. It was written in a promotional tone and looked like an advert for the organisation. Please see this information. Examples include
 * finely sculptured
 * referred to as the modern day strigil (by whom?) due to its proven (independent reference for the research?)
 * skin clean, fresh and rejuvenated unproven ad talk
 * promotes healthier and newer cells to become more visible, giving the look and feel of cleaner, younger skin whilst keeping it clear of impurities and waste. unproven ad talk

In fact the whole article is like this, lots of unproven claims and written like a sales blurb.


 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts or show that it meets the notability guidelines. The company's website is not independent, and the inclusion of testimonials as a reference was bizarre.


 * How Le Edge Works &mdash; Wikipedia is not an instruction guide, especially when the instructions amount to yet more propaganda &mdash; to assure exceptional performance and suchlike.


 * I looked at Shake Weight. It's not great, but it does have proper references for the text, and claims from the company are clearly indicated as such. It has had a lot of edits, and is not eligible for speedy deletion. It would have to go through WP:AFD.


 * There are nearly 1000 admins on English Wikipedia, so in borderline cases I suppose there could be an element of luck. Your article was tagged as spam by a non-admin which flags it up for review by an admin (note that the removal of an SD tag also flags it up). I find it difficult to believe that any admin would accept this as a neutral, well-sourced encyclopaedia article, or one that could be easily salvaged.

Hope this helps  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:25, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
