Speedy deletion nomination of Rod Robinson (Rod-The-Tech-Guy)


A tag has been placed on Rod Robinson (Rod-The-Tech-Guy) 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 or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 "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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service.

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 this 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 this 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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  07:39, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for email. Many issues here. Our username policy prohibits using the name of a company or product as a user name. I think you have little chance of convincing an admin that your user name is not that of a company. You could ask to be unblocked and allowed to chose a new, acceptable user name. The procedure for that is in the box above, but you should note that you have to give an undertaking not to edit articles in which you have a conflict of interest, which is probably not what you want. If you appeal against the block, I'll leave it to another admin to decide because it wouldn't be fair on you for me to judge

For what it's worth I deleted your article because
 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. I see little indication that your company meets the criteria anyway, it's barely a year old and seems to be a one-man show.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: encourages people to learn coding in a variety of languages so that they can get a step closer to getting their dream tech career.&mdash; Wikipedia is not free advertising
 * it's all about what the company sells, little about the company itself other than locations. To show notability you need hard facts such as the number of employees, turnover or profits.

If you want to reply, you can post a message on this page, which you can still edit. I may see it more quickly if you start it with a link to my user name, User:Jimfbleak, and sign it with four tildes ~ when you post it.
