A tag has been placed on Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TNX-Man 14:20, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Bradford and Airedale Teaching Primary Care Trust, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam); and,
  4. avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 14:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:Business' FAQ and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

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).

Request reason:

Help help help My post is for a not for profit, public secotr organisation. I can't find the little W:PO or whatever that goes on the right hand side of my post. nor can I work out how to email you. Very confused

Decline reason:

This account appears to exist only for purposes that are against Wikipedia's rules, so there is not a good reason to unblock at this time. See my note below for more details.— FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:07, 21 August 2008 (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 sorry if you misunderstood the reason that you were blocked. Under the notability criteria, we all agree to only write about subjects that meet our standard of notability. Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree not to write about ourselves or our own companies. Under the username policy, we all agree not to write under usernames that are the name of an organization. Now that you know that you won't be writing about your company, and that you won't be using your company name as a username, do you still have an interest in participating in making the encyclopedia better? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]


If I change the name of the page will that help - or do I have to start all over again?B&AtPCT (talk) 15:19, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I guess I still didn't phrase that clearly enough. There is no correct way for you to create an article about your organization; we don't create articles about our own organizations. If that's all you want to do on Wikipedia, then you won't be able to edit any more. Even if you weren't related to the organization, the group doesn't look like it meets the notability criteria; are there articles about it in any other major encyclopedias? Does Encyclopedia Britannica have an article about your organization? The only reason for an unblock would be if you wanted to work on articles that don't have anything to do with your organization, and then you'd need a different username. But there isn't anything you can do that would result in a Wikipedia article about your organization. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think I understand however there are articles about organisations on wikipedia - see West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive for example. What have they done differently to what I want to do? Can you tell I'm all new to this? Thanks for your patience B&AtPCT (talk) 15:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know how I can say this more clearly. You cannot create an article about your own organization. All articles must comply with the notability criteria (I've linked to these at least three times; I assume you've read them). If I see an article I think breaks the rules, I tag it for deletion; I don't create another inappropriate article. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 15:36, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
More specifically, you have a massive conflict of interest which is why you should not be creating articles about your organisation. If it really is notable someone else will create an article about it sooner or later. – ukexpat (talk) 15:57, 21 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
