Speedy deletion nomination of User:Vaccinepurdue


A tag has been placed on User:Vaccinepurdue, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Syrthiss (talk) 14:20, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Vaccinepurdue (talk) 14:23, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

It is simply for the promotion of a newly established research group, co-founded at Purdue University. It is also an official partner of the Department of Homeland Security.


 * You do realize you just said 'it is not unambiguously promotional...because it is simply for promotion'? Perhaps you would like to review WP:ADVERT and try that again? Syrthiss (talk) 14:25, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (It's for the identification of a newly established research center for the U.S. Department of Homeland security. See the following website for verification   http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/vaccine/index.php  ) --Vaccinepurdue (talk) 14:29, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, we are not promoting, but rather, informing of the existence of a Department of Homeland Security entity that conducts research and education in support of federal, state and local homeland security personnel and the DHS operating components. We are a fully sanctioned and funded DHS Center of Excellence that is comprised of global university partners. Our request for a wikipedia page is in line with other wikipedia pages you are currently supporting such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory. We have been established for three years with a portfolio of projects to support our end-users.

 * Dear Mr. Collins: I expect that VACCINE does indeed merit an article. However, we have three issues here: (1) what is written here is excessively promotional in tone, well beyond the neutral language expected in an encyclopedia article.  I have tried pointing your editor to the guidelines for avoiding advertising to no avail. (2) what is written here is written apparently by you or some member of your staff, in violation of our conflict of interest guidelines.  That might help explain why you don't seem to realize the problem with (1).  (3) What you or your staff have written is not actually an article, but a WP:USERPAGE for an account named 'Vaccineperdue'.  If the first two issues didn't exist, we could move this to something like VACCINE (organization).  Regards, Syrthiss (talk) 14:51, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

Well, what steps must be taken to move this page towards the VACCINE (organization) option? Thanks. - Editor

Syrthiss, Thank You. We will work to get this corrected so it conforms to Wikipedia Standards.

Username policy and conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Vaccinepurdue) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Cailil  talk 15:36, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
