User talk:Quapawcanoe

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Quapawcanoe, 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. Bentogoa (talk) 16:15, 2 September 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. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:37, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Quapawcanoe (talk) 18:17, 2 September 2015 (UTC) This page is simply defining not only a company's existence, but it's conservation work along the Lower Mississippi River. I was not done editing this article and intended to focus on the work Quapaw Canoe Company has done to bring to light the wilderness that exsists along the Mississippi River. With our Rivergator.org (Walton grand-funded) project we have worked over the past 4 years to create a water trail guide for the Lower Mississippi river, for paddlers use to safetly navigate these waters (similar to the PCT or Appalachian trail). We are a staple not only in the Clarksdale, MS community, but the greater paddling and kayaking community as well. This page is certainly NOT for promotional reasons, simply to define who we are and our mission statement. Please reconsider our speedy deletion and allow me to finish editing the article.
