Speedy deletion nomination of Castlery

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 Castlery, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, WKcastlery. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Castlery, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:12, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

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

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia: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.

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 {{unblock|Your reason here}} 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:25, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

Castlery is my employing host company, and I would like to create a wikipedia page with backlink for the company website. I am sorry for violating criteria A7. No indication of importance (people, animals, organizations, web content, events), as well as G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion. This is my first time creating a page on Wikipedia and I apologize for not familiarizing myself with the criteria for publishing pages on Wikipedia before I wrote and publish the page. I sincerely hope you would give me a chance to be unblocked and I promise to include citation of relevant references from recognized articles in the Wikipedia page to substantiate importance, and use an objective, non-promotional or advertising tone and content in the Wikipedia page dedicated to my employing host company Castlery. Sorry once again and thank you for your kind attention

Decline reason:

No, you won't be unblocked to do that, at least in the short term. Please review conflict of interest and paid editing. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 11:12, 24 February 2021 (UTC)

You seem to have a common, fundamental misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not a database of "pages", this is an encyclopedia with articles. Those articles are typically written by independent editors, and summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about(in this case) a company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself. If you just want to tell the world about your company, you should do that on your own website, social media, or other forum where that is permitted. If you are interested in being a general, individual Wikipedia contributor and editing about topics unrelated to your conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. 331dot (talk) 11:12, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
