Speedy deletion nomination of Pamela Zoolalian
A tag has been placed on Pamela Zoolalian, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Wikipedia's use for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our rules about this.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are grounds for blocking.


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than yourself, your group, company or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken here.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Appealing a block for more information.

The essential point is that your chosen username is the same as the subject of your article, which by definition is a promotional account. I am making the assumption that you are not, in fact, Pamela Zoolalian. Are you prepared to change your username? Whether the article is itself about an intrinsically notable person is a separate issue, which will be addressed after clarifying the username position. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 18:17, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The issue with the name, assuming you are not Pamela Zoolalian, is not that it's promotional, it's that it's impersonation. You will not be allowed to edit under this name without this issue being resolved.  The problem with your article was that it was so far off in tone from what is acceptable on Wikipedia that it had to be deleted; it read like you were posting Zoolalian's resume on line or an advertisement for her.  What you need to do is write a biography, basing all the information on what is written in reliable sources about Ms. Zoolalian.  I gather from what you wrote that she's been profiled in a few periodicals: that is probably sufficient basis for an article.  Once the name issue is resolved I can help you get started.
