Speedy deletion nomination of User:Almentor
edit
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Almentor, 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. This 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 or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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. •≈20+π(talk to me!) 18:37, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Contested deletion
editThis page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this is a page talking about a business, it is talking about the services products and how it started, very similar to coursera lynda udemy and others --Almentor (talk) 18:43, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- I am concerned by the tone of the article, which is full of promotional language. Also, your username violates our policy when taken together with your creation of this page. •≈20+π(talk to me!) 18:48, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
Contested deletion
editThis page is not unambiguously promotional, because... please let me know what you'd like me to edit. Been working on this for few days for my company. The username is the company www.almentor.net this is why I chose Almentor, as for the content I can revise it but please let me know what is exactly promotional as most of it is informative really. --185.128.25.121 (talk) 18:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
- Since you said "my company," you should probably disclose your conflict of interest before doing anything else. •≈20+π(talk to me!) 19:51, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

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 {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk 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 that 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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. MER-C 20:00, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
I find this block unreasonable, the page was created based on Coursera, Lynda, Udemy pages. It is very similar to the information mentioned there. I am an employee in this company and I need to create a page for it where people can edit and add in information. If there is any sign of promotional content please clarify it rather than block me indefinitely and make me lose the chance of having a page under the name of almentor which is th ename of the company I work for. Appreciate your help!Almentor (talk) 07:39, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You have not chosen a new username as described in your block notice. The page you attempted to create, which was on your user page(which is not article space) was entirely promotional. To be unblocked, you will need to read WP:COI and WP:PAID and tell us what you want to edit about instead of your company as you will not be permitted to do so. As such, I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- I would like to further explain; you seem to have a common misconception as to what Wikipedia is. It is not social media for companies to tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources how they meet Wikipedia notability guidelines, in this case WP:ORG(those for businesses). Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wants to say about itself, or how it wants to be portrayed. Other similar pages existing does not mean yours gets to exist too, please see WP:OSE. Each page is judged on its own merits. Not every company merits a page here, even within the same field. I understand that many companies are interested in seeing a Wikipedia article about themselves because Wikipedia ranks highly in search results, but Wikipedia does not care about that. Our only interest is in building an encyclopedia of human knowledge. Please read the policies I have indicated on this page, and if necessary show your boss or supervisor this page to explain why you will not be permitted to create a page to promote or discuss your company. 331dot (talk) 07:52, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thelast feedback was very useful. I read through WP:COI and WP:PAID. May I have the chance to edit the content to make it more subjective and declare the COI present. Also, in regards to changing the name. So I cannot name a page after a company name?
Decline reason:
You will not be unblocked until:
- you propose a new username that meets the username policy
- you confirm that this account is used by one individual only
- you agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organisation (requested edits will still be permitted)
- you agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose your paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
- you indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future
If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organisation, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets. Yunshui 雲水 08:07, 4 June 2018 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- Another administrator will review your request. The page you edited was your user page, which is not article space. (Article space does not have "User:" in the title) It is a place to introduce yourself to the Wikipedia community in the context of your Wikipedia editing. It is not a place for Wikipedia articles. You will need to select a new username that is not that of your company. If you wish, a name in the format of "YourName of Almentor" would be acceptable. You don't have to use your real name. Your username must indicate you as an individual user and be used by no one other than you(or suggest that it is). I still feel in my view that you should not be permitted to edit about your company, as your effort was wholly promotional and it seems to me that your company does not meet the notability guidelines at WP:ORG at this time. If you are interested in being a general Wikipedia contributor, please tell what articles or topic areas you interested in editing. If you just want to tell the world about your company, you will need to do so on your own website or elsewhere, perhaps on an alternative outlet listed at WP:OUT. 331dot (talk) 08:13, 3 June 2018 (UTC)

{unblock|can I please have this unblocked now ? I did all that is requested.}
At no point have you done this: "Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked." --Yamla (talk) 19:46, 5 June 2018 (UTC)
