how can i fix the Molloy College Division of Business page so that is does not get deleted and how can i make it a subpage for molloy college : under the division of business
 * First of all it's clear you have a WP:COI with the college. Second you don't write it like an advertisement and you use 3rd party reliable sources as to indicate why it passes WP:GNG. C T J F 8 3  20:08, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

A welcome to you!
Hello, MolloyBusiness123, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! §everal⇒|Times 18:20, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Molloy College Division of Business


A tag has been placed on Molloy College Division of Business, 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". 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 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. §everal⇒|Times 18:21, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended 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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  22:02, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

is there a way to get the "MOlloy division of business" page back so I can change it and make it not an advertisement. This would be my first time creating a page, so I tried and I guess failed, but I would like to get this done. I read a little bit on what is allowed and not allowed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MolloyBusiness123 (talk • contribs) — MolloyBusiness123 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * What you wrote was a blatant advertisement, designed not to inform encyclopedia readers but to attract students. It was written from the college in the first person: "We help students achieve better internships... help our students enter a meaningful professional career... opens professional doors for our students... We offer every student a corporate mentor... " and was full of PR/marketing-speak and "peacock terms": "conveniently located... over 12 years of success and achievement... Molloy's innovative programs...  designed to give you the real-world experience you need to stand out in the world of business.... " Nothing like that would ever be acceptable as a Wikipedia article. One of the reasons why editing with a WP:Conflict of interest is strongly discouraged is that people close to a subject are almost always unable to write about it in neutral terms, or to understand why there might be a problem with this sort of promotional stuff.


 * Also, Wikipedia is selective about article subjects: they need to have notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. See WP:42 - the test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about?


 * Experience shows that individual schools or faculties within a university are seldom able to meet this requirement, and are better covered by a mention within the University article. See College and university article guidelines, particularly the section Faculties and academic colleges. JohnCD (talk) 16:19, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
