Speedy deletion nomination of Elizabeth Clay


A tag has been placed on Elizabeth Clay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- Finngall  talk  03:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Realtors ca", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it implies that it is being used as a group account.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. -- Finngall  talk  03:56, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Blocked
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   09:13, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've blocked you, but I have no problem with you getting unblocked as long as you change your username to something that reflects upon you as an individual. Your current username comes across as one that is being used on behalf of a business or more specifically, the website Realtor.ca. I do want to warn you about editing with a conflict of interest (WP:COI) and the majority of why I'm blocking you is because I want to ensure that you read through our policies. I don't see where your edits come across as promotional in tone, so I also have no problem in userfying the page Elizabeth Clay once you change your username. What I mean by "userfy" is that you would be able to continue to work on the article, but it would be in your userspace instead of the mainspace. It'd give you time to source the article and finish it before re-adding it to the mainspace. An equally good place to put it would be in our WP:AfC space, which is frequently used by people with a conflict of interest. It can take slightly longer, but it does help alleviate concerns about COI editing since it has to be looked at by another editor. My only true warning would be that you would have to make sure to source it properly to show that Clay meets notability guidelines. You can read over sourcing at WP:RS and you can also get good advice on what is or isn't usable as a source at WP:RS/N, a noticeboard about sourcing. I also recommend checking in at our WP:TEAHOUSE, as it's sort of a welcome center for new editors and there are a lot of helpful people that watch/frequent the page. In any case, I want to again repeat that I'm completely willing to unblock you- I just want to ensure that you read all of this. Unfortunately there have been some COI editors that have used and abused Wikipedia in the past, so I want to stress how important it is that you are aware of the policies and guidelines on here. You seem to be more versed than most and your article was fairly neutral, although there were 1-2 buzz words in there that would need to be removed. Overall, not a bad first article.
