User talk:CheckRed

Welcome!

Hello, CheckRed, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:CheckRed, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:CheckRed

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:CheckRed, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. 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.

Blocked

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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

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|reason=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. —Cryptic 04:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

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:

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

Request reason:

CheckRed provides valuable information on cloud security solutions that can benefit a wide audience interested in protecting their cloud infrastructure. Their approach to integrating various security measures aligns with current industry practices and offers useful insights for both individuals and organizations seeking to enhance their cloud security posture.

Decline reason:

That's wonderful, but completely irrelevant. This isn't a business directory where mere existence warrants inclusion, nor is this a place for businesses to tell about themselves. Please see WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID. You won't be unblocked to write about your business, so we will need to know what you want to write about instead. If you have no other interest here, this is the end of the road. 331dot (talk) 09:40, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not a business directory, so a company is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of a company, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the company must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what a company wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest. You may not use Wikipedia to promote/publicize/advertise your business, for any reason. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I respect the platform and I am sorry for the way you view my inputs but I am having a hard time distinguishing the difference.

I feel I should be given the chance to correct the tone to being more neutral. With respect to being educational I though it was my job to express to you that we also provide educational blogs and whitepaper to the public. CheckRed (talk) 20:34, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I read over https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability, I understand the limitations this may place on CheckRed. CheckRed (talk) 20:38, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please place new postings at the bottom of this page to preserve the correct chronological order of discussions.

Per WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, the existence of similar articles does not guarantee the acceptance of yours. Each article has to stand on its own merit.

I looked at the citation in the Wiz article and I believe that is unsuitable for that article. I will remove it. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 22:46, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
