User talk:Preppergardens

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Preppergardens, 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. I am One of Many (talk) 01:14, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Preppergardens (talk) 01:52, 9 January 2014 (UTC) The page in question in now way advertises any product or price simply references a webpage where a treasure chest of information to a community of preppers can be harvested. I am in no way soliciting sales of a product or products but identifying uses of plants for other beneficial uses than merely aesthetics. The website is educational as it provides recommendations of plants for medicinal purposes, recipes for utilizing the plant parts for the medical benefits, plants that can be planted for year round wildlife feeding, and which fruit can be be grown for long term storage. This website is not simply a website looking to sell products, which it does to stay active on the internet, but to provide informative education information to over 3 million preppers. The medicinal tree I talk about Chinquapin has two recipes on it discussing benefits and how Native Americans made a dough nut snack for their chief ;

This information has been compiled together with information on where the plants grow, how large and characteristics for the general public to use as beacon of horticulture knowledge. Viewers can identify their growing zone by zip code to see if a plant their interested in could possibly grow where they are located. Please take into consideration the educational benefits of all the valuable knowledge on the website www.preppergarden.biz and that the solicitation of any product never occurs at any time in the posting. I aim to provide the knowledge and love I have for plants to the general public but hosting a website cost money and thus viewers can purchase the items of interest from Prepper Gardens and is done to merely keep the collection live.

Sincerely,

Ryan Phillips

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity.

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right.
