Speedy deletion nomination of The Heritage Alliance


A tag has been placed on The Heritage Alliance 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 an organization or company, 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.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, TheheritageallianceUK, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  19:07, 26 January 2015 (UTC) Here are a few key questions: I understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia and not a directory or business directory. I have read the related guidance on this. I understand and have read the Wikipedia conflict of interest policy. I must disclose that I am a current employee of the organisation about which I would be posting an article. I understand that articles must be considered 'notable' and have merit and would not create an article that was not verifiable through external sources.
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. PhilKnight (talk) 11:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi there, I understand the user requirements for Wikipedia and will work to change my username as soon as I am able. I have also read and agree with the questions asked by PhilKnight. I will not create a new page without ensuring that it will meet the Wikipedia guidelines. Please let me know if there are further steps that I should follow.
 * This account was blocked six years ago.(prior unblock requests must remain until the block is removed) Are you the original operator of this account? The questions above will also need to be answered. 331dot (talk) 10:46, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

You only need one open unblock request at a time, follow up comments need only be standard, unformatted comments. 331dot (talk) 13:51, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you should be able to create your own account now- but you will need to review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 13:54, 21 January 2021 (UTC) = Hi there, thanks for your help. As a current employee of the organisation (although I would be providing a factual article), I feel this would not align with the current conflict of interest policy, as some work would need to be done to adequately verify the information by linking out to independent sources.
 * Yes, Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself; only in what others say about it. It is usually very hard for people in your position to write in such a manner. You are still welcome to create your own account since you seem willing to comply with policy. 331dot (talk) 16:26, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
