A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Okapirugby, 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. This 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 or advertising space.

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.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it is a rugby club information section, no publicity or promotions is intended

April 2017
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:02, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Regarding the block, there's a message further up that explains the issue (and what you can do to contest the block); in short, your username is the name of the club and thus can be taken to imply shared use. Wikipedia accounts are for individuals, not for groups or clubs, and the username must reflect that.
 * Regarding the deleted draft, there was no indication that the club meets Wikipedia's standards of notability (see WP:ORG for a more specific notability guideline that covers organizations, including sports clubs). Huon (talk) 23:55, 19 January 2018 (UTC)
