Speedy deletion of User:Prowatts/sandbox


Your user page, User:Prowatts/sandbox, has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be advertising which only promoted or publicized someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.

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.

I really don't get it, when I search for organization names, every organization have a wiki page. These pages help the public to know about the industries better. There are no promotive or advertising contents involved at all. Then why am I blocked for doing so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prowatts (talk • contribs)
 * We aren't interested in what organisations wish to say about themselves. To understand why, see WP:COI and WP:PROMO. If you have other examples where companies wrote about themselves here, let us know. However, their bad actions won't allow you to violate these policies; see WP:OTHERSTUFF. --Yamla (talk) 21:12, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Also, frankly, if you don't see how the contents you were writing were promotional, you are far too closely involved with your subject matter to be trusted here. That was one of the most blatantly promotional pieces of marketing material I've ever seen. --Yamla (talk) 21:14, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
