Speedy deletion nomination of User:The House Designers

[edit]

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 User:The House Designers, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. NTox · talk 23:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "The House Designers", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, institution, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Dlohcierekim 04:21, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your feedback

[edit]

A table of contents gets generated automatically when you use headers. When you are editing, they look like this:

==Company history==

As for company logo, you'll want to go to This uploading tool. Let me know if you have questions. You can write to me here, I'll be watching this page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual.  You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice instead. Thank you.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

The House Designers (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I was trying to create an account page about our company with an info box and table of contents not an article...it was an error on my part..but I wanted to create a page not an article. It was not clear how to do that and I did not realize or intend for it to be published as an article...I was sent this information after my help inquiry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_company. In fact here is a copy of my inquiry was trying to figure out how to add the table of contents and business logo info box to my page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:The_House_Designers So it looks similar to:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sater_Design_Collection I request that the block be removed from my account so I can have the opportunity to set it up correctly The House Designers (talk) 22:44, 25 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As explained below, Wikipedia does not host company accounts or company account pages (though, as an encyclopedia, it does carry articles about notable companies - see WP:NCORP for the notability requirements). If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia as an individual, please feel free to create a new account that represents only you - and do have a read of the links people have given you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:28, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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'm not an admin, but I would recommend that you look at our conflict of interest policies - I doubt that you'll be unblocked on the basis of your request. In addition, I took a look at The Sater Design Collection and have nominated it for deletion as being overly promotional. It may not be the article that you want to model. GregJackP Boomer! 03:58, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) - To be unblocked, you must demonstrate that you are aware that Wikipedia is not a website for promoting yourself or a company. Additionally, please note that you will need to start another account as this account can't edit while representing a company. You must also be aware that companies must receive sufficient reliable and third-party sources such as news coverage to establish notability. I strongly suggest visiting your welcome links and Wikipedia:Your first article to properly start an article. If you have questions, feel free to ask. SwisterTwister talk 05:56, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please note that there is no such thing here as a private page. Every edit you make, on any page - an existing one or one which you create - is automatically visible to every editor. You need to be aware of conflict of inrerest guidelines, |corporation guideline and notability considerations. To request unblock to change your name, which we insist on, use {{unblock-un}}. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 11:18, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Hello. As blocking admin I feel I have not emphasized strongly enough that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not the place to locate an account page about your company. Please reread the messages I left and follow the links. Please read those pages carefully. They should explain that only individuals, not companies etc can have user pages or accounts. That is the reason for the block. You should be able to create an account w/ a username that does not reflect or promote some company or group. Please follow the links and read the polices there. There are not and cannot be group accounts on Wikipedia. Please read about what Wikipedia is not by following this link. The only purpose to being an editor here is a desire to build this encyclopedia. Any other purpose would be a conflict of interest. Promoting one's business would be more appropriate at MySpace, FaceBook or I suppose, FourSquare. Please read and heed the messages from the very knowledgeable editors that have also left links on this page. Thanks Dlohcierekim 12:13, 26 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
