Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Ott solutions requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

There have been two problems identified with this account: 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 or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.
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 this 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. Ottsolutions001 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

No. To address the rest of request, you writing about your company is promotion regardless of what you write and you have not selected a new username. MER-C 12:14, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
- I had an explanation ready myself, but I was beaten to the review. Still, it might be of some use, so I'll offer it anyway...
I see some misunderstandings here. One is that companies (along with other kinds of organizations and groups) are not allowed to have user accounts here - Wikipedia user accounts are for individuals only.
Then there's the username itself, as usernames that represent or appear to represent companies or organizations are also not allowed.
Next, the article you created was just a list of links, and that does not come close to the minimum requirements for a Wikipedia article. At the very least we would need a description of the company that makes it clear that it satisfies Wikipedia's notability requirements for companies (see WP:NCORP), with all claims backed up by reliable sources (see WP:RS).
Finally, as you have a clear conflict of interest, you should not be creating an article about your company directly, and you'd be better using the Articles for Creation process at WP:AFC. You would also need to adhere to Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest guidelines (see WP:COI).
So, what should you do to get unblocked? Firstly, please follow the instructions in the block message for requesting a rename. Secondly, you will need to assure us that only one person will use this account. You should also read the links I have given you concerning notability, conflict of interest, etc, and then you should explain how your editing will be different if you are unblocked.
