User talk:UoP Racing Team

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:UoP Racing Team, 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, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drm310 (talk) 20:49, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

The article is not vandalism, SPAM, or an attack page. This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it states history and fact of a university team. Being a university team means it is non-profitable; we could not possibly create a page for promotional reasons, because we have no direct gains or profit from such an act.

Your account name violates Wikipedia's username policy. Accounts cannot be named after organizations and cannot be shared or imply shared use. You must request a change of username as these types of accounts are typically blocked outright from editing.

Your userpage is not an encyclopedia article. It is meant for basic biographical data about the user and your Wikimedia-related activities. You can use it as a short-term space for an article draft but not as a permanent home.

Article topics must be notable, with particular guidelines for groups and organizations, to be considered worthy of inclusion. Wikipedia makes no distinction between for-profit businesses and non-profit groups in this regard. All must be proven notable as evidenced by significant coverage in unaffiliated, reliable sources.

Lastly, it is considered a conflict of interest to write about your own organization or any other topic with which you have a personal or professional connection. This is further explained in Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations. --Drm310 (talk) 21:36, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Block notice

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 and which complies with our username policy.

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 does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
