This account with this username has been blocked indefinitely because it matches a company name and is being used for promoting it (see our blocking and username policies for more information).

You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username.

Alternately, you may request a change in username if you want to keep the contributions from this account. To do so, please follow these directions:

1. Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked.
3. You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request before you may be re-blocked. Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use; do not create the new account then request a name change. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.

In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is much easier to create a new account. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Hi there, could you please change my username. I have not been in my account for a while and only realised today that there is a problem with my username biometricsinstitute. Is it still possible to change it?

Welcome

HI there, I never received notification of this proposed deletion but have not updated the Biometrics Institute page for a long time. We also have a German version of this page which is still live. The company exists and I am still the CEO. Could you please advise of next steps. It sounds like we may have to start a new page but wanted to check in here first. Thank you.

I now found the feed about deletion saying it was commercial spam. I am really disappointed. One of our competitors has a very similar page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Association_for_Biometrics so why is that not considered self-promotion? It is a shame that I did not receive notification about this discussion and we would have reviewed the page. We are a not for profit organisation promoting responsible use of biometrics. We highlighted in the post how we do that. It is a non-commercial entity. Please advise if the content can be recovered so we can review it or whether we need to start a new page. Thank you.
