User talk:WastelandStudios

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:WastelandStudios, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. QuiteUnusual (talk) 17:54, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I am simply trying to create a business page and have no intention of using it fro commercial promotion. We have been a film studio since 1994 and have a pristine reputation as a company in the adult film industry for ethics, Please do not delete my page? It's not even slightly finished yet. --WastelandStudios (talk) 18:01, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. 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 this 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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 18:08, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Text of email received from user, after the block:
 * Is there any way you can unblock my account and either delete or put in draft the article I had just started putting together about our 21 year old film studio? This being my first go at doing a wiki article, I wasn't aware of the "draft" feature when I was composing that article and faithfully promise that when it eventually goes live, it will not have any marketing words in it and all of the proper citations.
 * We started Wasteland in 1994 and have a very good reputation in our industry as ethical. All I'm trying to do here is to get a page up about our historic studio and website.
 * Pretty please?
 * Pretty please?
 * Pretty please?

Please read the instructions in the prominent orange notice above. The issue is not having a good reputation or being ethical. These are moot points in Wikipedia. The issue, as explained above, has to do with breaking Wikipedia rules. This is an encyclopedia, not a place for advertisement. Your comment above seems to completely misunderstand this project: "I am simply trying to create a business page". This is not the place for business pages. Please create your own website, or have a page in one of the many social media sites. The proper way to contest this and request an unblock is not by private email, as we strive to be transparent and keep discussions public and open. The proper way is explained in the notice above. -- Alexf(talk) 19:03, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi Alex, Yes, I understand that wikipedia is not the place for a business page, and all I am trying to do is document our 21 year history as a film studio.

Any possibility of a second chance here? I'm new to this, but am learning fast!

Best Regards, Colin
