Speedy deletion nomination of Coolherbals
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Coolherbals, 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/Organizations for more information.
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.

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. Peridon (talk) 13:28, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Help me!

Please help me with creating a page. Tried to do so for Coolherbals, not intended as an advert, simple as a page and got the message that it may be deleted due to some of its content. Can you tell me more specifically what I am and not allowed to insert in the article? Thank you,

Hi. If I am not good at editing articles :( can I request an article about Coolherbals to be written by one of your editors? How is this done? Thank you
- No. Simply put, you are not to use Wikipedia to advertise your company, or have another editor advertise your company. RickinBaltimore (talk) 14:06, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

Please help me understand how this works. I did try to create a page for a company and it was considered advertising so rightfully deleted.On the same time, similar companies in the field have identical pages about them on Wikipedia and they have been allowed. I am a beginner here but how come one is considered advertising and others accepted? CoolHerbals (talk) 14:21, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
- If we indeed have "identical pages" about similar companies, you're welcome to point them out so we can delete them, too. Wikipedia content should be a neutral summary of what reliable third-party sources have reported about the subject. Compare that to "leading manufacturer of natural health and beauty products" - I just tried and failed to find statistics on market shares for that market, so what is that claim based on? I rather doubt it's true, and even if it were, it's vague and without a source not verifiable. Huon (talk) 16:32, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
