Speedy deletion nomination of ODO.LT


A tag has been placed on ODO.LT, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Non-English contributions
Prašome nerašyti teksto lietuvių kalba anglakalbiame Vikipedijos projekte. Tokie tekstai yra laukiami lietuviškoje bei žemaitiškoje Vikipedijose. Please do not contribute text in Lithuanian to English Wikipedia. Your contributions are more than welcome at Lithuanian (Lithuanian language) and Samogitian (Samogitian dialect) Wikipedias. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:48, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:06, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Can you, please, explain?
 * The only "general similarity" between your page and the BMW article was that they were both black letters on a white background. They differ in all important particulars: Firstly, what you wrote was not in English; this is the English Wikipedia. You were notified of that issue above. Secondly, unlike the BMW article, which summarizes what independent sources have reported about that company, your page did not cite any sources whatsoever. As a consequence, there was no indication that the company meets Wikipedia's standards of notability, and the content was not verifiable. Thirdly, the tone of what you wrote was blatantly promotional, advertising your company. Wikipedia is not free ad space. Huon (talk) 14:06, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your pretty quick answer, Huon! You confirmed my fears that the article is not so informative. And for what it was blocked - as you also noticed - BMW will not block (reason: that the account represents a business or other organisation or group). It means only one - they are big and strong, and for them is allowed to make advertisement in any tone and at the end of the BMW and similar turn Wikipedia to free ad space for those purposes.

 * You were blocked (in part) because your userrname represents a company. We don't have a User:BMW; the article about BMW was written by independent volunteers, not by company staff. At the end of the BMW article you'll find a "problems" section; that doesn't remotely look like an ad to me. Even if that article also were problematic, that would still not be an excuse to create more inappropriate pages. Huon (talk) 15:41, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
