Speedy deletion of Draft:Guild of Glass Engravers


The page Draft:Guild of Glass Engravers has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. 331dot (talk) 11:07, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

November 2023
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * 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; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 11:07, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

Note that drafts are public, even if not yet part of the encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 11:30, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * Sorry, am I able to change the name then? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guild of Glass Engravers (talk • contribs)
 * You need to follow the instructions provided to make a request that also proposes a new username (use the first template described, not the second that you used here. 331dot (talk) 11:36, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

It's not- it's already taken and it seems to be another variation of the name of your organization. Your username needs to represent you personally, not that of your organization. You do not need to use your real name, just something unique to you. Please replace "gge" with a new choice(do not make a brand new request). 331dot (talk) 12:10, 8 November 2023 (UTC)

If you want, something like "John of GGE" would be acceptable. Something unique to you. 331dot (talk) 12:11, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
 * PS of GGE Would this be ok? PS are my intitals
 * That would be fine- I've formatted your existing request and removed the duplicate one- only one open request is needed(I advised you to simply rewrite your prior request but perhaps you didn't understand). Now you need to address your violations of policy, see WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell about themselves; Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage choose on their own to say about(in this case) an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Please read all these policies carefully before composing your reply; you will need to tell us what edits you intend to make if unblocked- it is doubtful that you will be permitted to, in the short term, edit about your organization. 331dot (talk) 12:21, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
