Speedy deletion of Thetunersource
A tag has been placed on Thetunersource, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Woland (talk) 21:22, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Business' FAQ and Conflict of interest.

Specifically it is forbidden on Wikipedia to have a username that itself promotes an entity, as yours does. Please feel free to create a new username.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. DJ Clayworth (talk) 21:23, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Thanks for your email. I will explain your block in a little more detail. Incidentally you can still write to this page when you are blocked - I will see anything you write.

Firstly it is not allowed for your username to be promoting anything. That's why you were blocked. We will have no objection to your creating a new account with a different name and continuing to edit. Normally we frown on creating multiple accounts, but this is an exception.

Secondly it is very strongly discouraged for you to edit an article about an organisation you represent. It invites a Conflict of interest. If your organisation is well-known enough, someone else will write an article. I strongly suggest you wait.

Thirdly any article on Wikipedia has to establish Notability. That means the article subject has to be notable - it's not about the quality of the article. I am fairly sure that thetunersource will not qualify.

You can try writing another article if you insist, but I would strongly advise against it. Meanwhile there are plenty of other articles on Wikipedia for you to edit. Maybe you could try working on one of them?

Happy Editing. DJ Clayworth (talk) 00:33, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
