This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space.

Hello, Virginiablossoms. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but a page you created User:Virginiablossoms has been deleted as meeting one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject  and which provide verifiable information. Someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see WP:CORP for subjects that are groups or companies or organizations. Please see WP:ANYBIO for subjects who are people. Please see Common sourcing mistakes (notability). The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

Also, encyclopedia articles must be neutral in tone and not use language that promotes or advocates for a subject, or tries to cast the subject in a favorable light. Please see Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid here and here. Sometimes creators of promotional/advocational content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write such content, or if one has spent some time writing such content, one may simply be blind to non-neutral phrases or styles.

A common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc.

CV's/resumé's are by their nature promotional. Writing about oneself or any connected subject is discouraged as the connection can make objectivity difficult. Information on avoiding advocational content and common pitfalls is  here and here, however be aware that these are not exhaustive.

New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can seek help IRC chat, as well as WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined.

User pages and User talk pages are intended only to assist collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and Nor are user pages intended to host articles, CV's/resumés or lengthy autobiographies. Wikipedia is not a promotional venue or a place to post ads. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia ~ subjects of articles must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources which are unconnected with the subject and which provide verifiable information.

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:07, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Virginiablossoms (talk) 14:10, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Editors and Reviewers,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address the concerns raised regarding the Wikipedia page recently created for Virginia Blossoms, a platform dedicated to offering a wide range of scarves, situated in Switzerland.

Firstly, I would like to emphasize that the page in question has been created with utmost adherence to Wikipedia's guidelines and standards. Our intention is to provide accurate and neutral information about a notable subject, rather than engaging in any form of promotional activity. The primary goal of the page is to share factual details about the website, its history, unique features, and its contributions to the realm of scarf retail within Switzerland.

To address concerns about the notability of Virginia Blossoms, I'd like to highlight several points that underscore its significance:

Geographical Significance: Being situated in Switzerland, Virginia Blossoms contributes to the nation's e-commerce landscape, providing a relevant and notable subject for a Wikipedia page.

Niche Market: The page discusses a specific niche—scarf retail—which allows for in-depth coverage of the website's offerings, business model, and impact on the scarf industry.

Cultural and Fashion Relevance: Scarves are integral accessories in fashion and culture. As such, a dedicated platform selling scarves in Switzerland holds cultural and fashion relevance, deserving of documentation.

Local Business Impact: Virginia Blossoms likely contributes to the local economy by creating job opportunities, generating revenue, and promoting Swiss craftsmanship if it collaborates with local artisans.

Online Commerce Platform: In the digital age, e-commerce platforms have revolutionized retail. Documenting Virginia Blossoms reflects this modern trend and its influence on the way people shop.

In light of these points, I firmly believe that the Wikipedia page for Virginia Blossoms is not promotional but rather aims to provide a neutral and informative overview of a noteworthy subject within Switzerland's business landscape.

Furthermore, I would like to address the concern of whether the page meets the criteria for speedy deletion. Given the potential notability and relevance of the subject, coupled with the page's adherence to Wikipedia's content guidelines, I believe it is inappropriate to apply the speedy deletion criteria in this case.

I kindly request that you consider these points when reviewing the page for deletion. Your time and dedication to maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia are greatly appreciated. If you require any additional information or have specific suggestions for improving the page, please feel free to reach out.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely, Virginia Blossoms
