Speedy deletion nomination of User:Ministryofmedals/sandbox/Ministry of Medals


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Ministryofmedals/sandbox/Ministry of Medals, 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. 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.

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 "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 deleted 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. Cahk (talk) 17:22, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

March 2018
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.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than 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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen &#124; talk 17:25, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

{{unblock-spamun reviewed| TackyDuck | I have only just joined wikipedia and did not realise i was doing anything wrong. I kept seeing a message to create a page for my name so i did. I understand now that this was wrong. I have no intention to use wikipedia for business promotion, I was hoping to start an informational page about virtual running in general, what it is and the benefits of it. I hope that you will reconsider the block and allow me to continue to use Wikipedia appropriately and for the benefit of others Ministryofmedals (talk) 18:49, 21 March 2018 (UTC)}|decline=> I have no intention to use wikipedia for business promotion Your deleted edits to Special:Undelete/User:Ministryofmedals/sandbox/Ministry of Medals -- written in the second person, no less -- contradict this.
