User talk:Orford Refrigeration

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Orford Refrigeration, 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, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 331dot (talk) 11:20, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... Orford Refrigeration has been an Australian company since 1922 and the history cannot be lost (your reason here) --Orford Refrigeration (talk) 11:22, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not here to promote the history of your company, that would be a use for the company's own website; also, your user page is not article space, if you truly believe your company meets the notability criteria for companies and merits a page, you should request that a page in the main namespace(without "User:" in the title) be created at Requested Articles, as there are conflict of interest issues in you creating a page about your own company. Further, you will likely be asked to change your username, as usernames cannot be that of a company per the username policy. 331dot (talk) 11:29, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Orford Refrigeration (talk) 11:36, 16 August 2015 (UTC) sorry but I am confused. there are many pages on this site that talk about companies and the history of the companies


 * Just because a company exists isn't enough for it to deserve an article. As mentioned above, companies must meet certain notability criteria to be considered worthy of inclusion. Notability must be demonstrated by having significant coverage in reliable, unaffiliated secondary sources.
 * If you are affiliated with this company and believe it meets these criteria, you are advised to let other uninvolved editors create the article, for reasons explained in FAQ/Organizations and the plain and simple conflict of interest guide.
 * As also mentioned, you should submit a request to change your username, since corporate usernames are blocked as a violation of Wikipedia's username policy. Account can only represent a single individual and can never be shared. You should also be aware that if you are doing this as part of your employment, Wikipedia requires you to disclose this information per the terms of use. --Drm310 (talk) 15:16, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

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. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. --Jakob (talk)  aka Jakec  19:07, 16 August 2015 (UTC)
