The page User:Rivers Run Red has been deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. As the page met any of these strictly-defined criteria, it was deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been deleted are:

(See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appeared to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

September 2021
 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Girth Summit  (blether) 15:53, 5 September 2021 (UTC)


 * If the company is no longer a going concern that certainly goes some way towards assuaging my concerns about the promotion. However, there are still a number of issues to consider - you haven't disclosed whether or not you had any connection with the subject, which is an issue. The content was on your userpage rather than in draft space (see WP:UP for discussion of appropriate user page content). You had lots of external links in the body of the text, which is inappropriate. The language used was promotional in tone - I appreciate that the entity no longer exists, but it is still important to write about it in a neutral, factual manner.
 * I wouldn't necessarily be averse to unblocking this account, but you will need to select a different username, and disclose the nature of your connection with the defunct company. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  16:14, 5 September 2021 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for disclosing the nature of your relationship with the subject. Please take a look at WP:COI - the guidance there explains how you will need to work on this subject area.
 * Next up, the username is still an issue. I can't rename you - it takes someone with special permissions to do that - so go back and look at the instructions above, and make an unblock request which includes a request for a rename.
 * Once that is out of the way, I would be willing to unblock. However, you will have to abide by the COI guidance, and you will need to be sure to write about the subject neutrally, and only to include information that can be verified by citing reliable sources. You can't use your own personal knowledge - we call that original research - the only information you put into a draft should come from reliable sources. You can create it in draft space, and then submit it for review by an independent editor using the WP:AfC process. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  16:29, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
