Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (January 25)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by HitroMilanese were:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:IQGlassWiki/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account 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:

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, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

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. Waggers TALK 11:54, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:IQGlassWiki/sandbox

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:IQGlassWiki/sandbox, 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.

waggers mate, im just trying to sort out wikis for our brands. No CTAs are involved so its not promotional. Just a bio of the company IQGlassWiki (talk) 12:13, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, it is not a web host for brands. Thanks for confirming that you have a conflict of interest, please read that linked policy carefully. You should also read our criteria for inclusion of articles about organisations which you will need to demonstrate for any article you think should be created about an organisation. There was no evidence in your draft article of your company meeting those criteria. Waggers TALK 12:28, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

waggers cmon now. By "brands" i am referring to our various company names that house our various glazing systems. IQ Glass is a company with several sub-companies below it. We have our own websites regardless. We are using wikipedia to just provide some SEO value to our company while also providing our customers with an insight into the company and its structure IQGlassWiki (talk) 12:33, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is deeply inappropriate to abuse Wikipedia for SEO. You will not be unblocked to do that. --Yamla (talk) 13:19, 25 January 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.

IQGlassWiki (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

GlazingWiki2024 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Blocked for writing an entry on the largest glazing company in the UK. Everything written is facts as I work at the company. Not once was there a CTA to try and get IQ Glass leads.

Decline reason:

That username would also be inappropriate. You don't seem to understand WP:COI and WP:PROMO and won't be unblocked to promote your company. If you aren't interested in writing about subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest, this is the end of the line. Yamla (talk) 12:31, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
