Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Vibescout


A tag has been placed on Draft:Vibescout, 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 encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

December 2016
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. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:40, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * You used AfC, which is good, but it was also very promotional and your username is an issue. I have no problem with you getting unblocked as long as you are aware that Wikipedia is not a place to promote a business and as long as you promise to try to work on making the work read less promotional.

 * I've changed this so it comes up with the correct unblock template and merged the rationales so they show up properly. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)  10:55, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
 * I was initially going to unblock you and had even done just that, but I did a quick search (which I admittedly should have done first) and found that your requested username is the same name as a marketing/IT solutions company. You need to pick a username that reflects on you as an individual. You can do something like "(your name) at Dayimanzi" or name yourself after a favorite hobby, like "SportsFan45". Once you've picked a different username I have no problem unblocking you, but I can't do it before then. I also can't restore the page since the history section was so promotional, but I have emailed you a copy so you can pull some of the other stuff from it. The entire history section needs to go, since it was written in a too promotional fashion. A brief overview of the company's history is fine, but it shouldn't use the type of wording you used. I recommend using the WP:TEAHOUSE while re-writing and fixing the article, as writing neutrally can be difficult for people who work with marketing for a living. (Marketing speak is fine elsewhere, we just can't use that style on Wikipedia.) You write in a promotional style so often that it's hard to write otherwise sometimes.
