Speedy deletion nomination of The Actors Pulse


A tag has been placed on The Actors Pulse, requesting that it be 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. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of http://www.theactorspulse.com.au/about. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

Help
I am trying to create a Wikipedia page for a business however I need assistance to ensure that it is not marked as advertising and deleted. The purpose of the page is to provide information on the school and allow for actors who also have Wikipedia pages to reference their place of training.


 * First of all, you should take a look at the username policy, particularly WP:CORPNAME, since Wikipedia does not allow shared or "company" accounts, and the username must reflect that an individual operates the account. If you want your username to be associated with the acting school, a username such as "John at The Actors Pulse" would be acceptable. You will need to propose a change of username if you want this account to be unblocked (see below for details on that, and keep in mind that the username was not the only reason for the block.
 * Secondly, you should take a look at WP:PAID, which explains the disclosure requirements for editors who contribute to Wikipedia as part of their job. It's rather obvious that you work for The Actors Pulse, directly or indirectly.
 * That said, Wikipedia does not just list everything that exists; we have standards of notability that govern which topics are considered appropriate for an encyclopedia article and which ones aren't. With some quick searches I did not find any detailed media coverage of The Actors Pulse that would allow us to write a meaningful encyclopedia article about it, but maybe you know of better references.
 * The content of a Wikipedia article should be a neutral summary of what reliable sources that are independent of the school, such as newspapers or reputable magazines, have reported about it. Copy-pasting their "about us" page is obviously not neutral coverage of the company and also violates copyright. In particular, phrases such as "the leading Meisner technique acting school in the southern hemisphere" (vacuous since they're the only one, so whom are they leading?), "the only acting school specializing in the Meisner Technique" (tell that to the Sanford Meisner Center) or "passionate storyteller" (personal opinion that doesn't convey any hard facts) give the impression that you're out to promote the school, not to provide information about it. You didn't even provide the country the school is located in, and the only information you did provide, the founding date, you provided twice, conflicting with each other.

There have been two problems identified 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, 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 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  05:52, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
