Speedy deletion nomination of User:Zawarib


A tag has been placed on User:Zawarib, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. SwisterTwister  talk  21:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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. Peridon (talk) 21:40, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --Zawarib (talk) we are a company in Lebanon, our work is governmental, mostly about getting a better transport system and better quality of life. ALL WHO hear abut our work think we are getting funded by a public body, but in fact all we do is voluntary. This is not an advert. The bulk of the written text was about a mission, and only a short piece about the products we have produced (at zero profit). If that is aproblem, we can easiy remove that, since all our real work is in promoting the use of street names and public transport! Our publications are als given away for free!!
 * I will give a new version of what I said in a post you have deleted: If you can't see how that looked like advertising, then there is no place here for you. Also, you are ignoring the other part of the block. 'We' has no place here in editing. Accounts are for individuals, and this account seems to be definitely for an organisation and in violation of WP:USERNAME. Giving your products away free means nothing. Charities and multi-nationals are treated by the same rules summarised in WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. Also, referencing in compliance with WP:RS is required. I would advise you not to ignore what I am telling you here. The page has been speedily deleted as blatant advertising. You are by your own admission "promoting the use of street names and public transport". Wikipedia is not for advertising. Peridon (talk) 22:35, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
 * My apologies for the struck out bit - the deleted message was someone else with a similar style/ You didn't delete a previous message of mine. The rest of the post does apply, however. Peridon (talk) 10:33, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
