Speedy deletion nomination of User:OpenFin Inc/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:OpenFin Inc/sandbox, 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 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, person, or point of view 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/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 deleted 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.

April 2020
There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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 that 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Administrative note: Filter log is empty, renaming is safe. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi (or soon ), thank you very much for the appeal. Regarding personal knowledge, please note that Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable, published sources. Please describe the intention behind, and the meaning of, "building your credibility on Wikipedia". Thank you very much in advance. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 02:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for the info. I understand that articles must be based on reliable published sources. What I meant by building my credibility is working on as creating content, commenting on someone else's content, tagging/citing content all of which would be based off of reliable, wikipedia approved sources.
 * That username is very similar to "SC2007", which is a scientific conference according to Google. Could you please pick another? I am happy to help with renaming your account, the username just has to represent you as an individual and comply with the username policy. Thanks! -- The SandDoctor Talk 04:45, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
