Speedy deletion nomination of University of Exeter Debating Society

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on University of Exeter Debating Society requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Matty.007 19:31, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Report

Hi, I would suggest saying on the article's talk page, and here, saying that you chose the wrong name, and I would apply for a name change. We get many spam article creators, which led to me reporting your username as promotional. I will write a message explaining on the report page that you pocked the wrong name, and will try and sort the rest out tomorrow. Thanks for trying to resolve this, Matty.007|

Many thanks to you too --DebSoc Exeter (talk) 19:52, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

I would suggest that the table below is of best use to your chances. Matty.007 19:58, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

sap214 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Clearly it was very foolish of me to choose the name I did. I think to avoid accusations of blind self-promotion I should probably have this name changed. I am sorry to have caused such trouble DebSoc Exeter (talk) 20:02, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As there has been no response to my follow-up question for over a week I am declining the unblock. Please post a new request if you would like to return to editing. Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 19:54, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

I look forward to editing the page to clean it up as well as add sourcing, once my account is unblocked. Best wishes, --DebSoc Exeter (talk) 20:06, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but a username change does not eliminate your conflict of interest. What pages would you edit if unblocked? —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 20:23, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

I was only going to add sources, to the debating society page. As this still conflicts with the 'conflict of interest rules', perhaps it would better if this account was deleted.

It is my understanding that the debating society page itself is now allowed to stay? If not, please could I have a list of criteria I need to meet to bring the article in line with such pages as these: University of Exeter Hockey Club Exeter University RFC Oxford Union --DebSoc Exeter (talk) 20:54, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Would you be willing to propose changes on the associated talk page of articles wherein you have a conflict of interest? There is a template ({{request edit}}) that brings your request to the attention of uninvolved editors. You could still edit unrelated articles at your leisure.--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:32, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

For inclusion criteria, please see WP:N and WP:ORG. Bjelleklang - talk 23:14, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
