Speedy deletion nomination of User:DataCo GmbH/sandbox/DataGuard

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:DataCo GmbH/sandbox/DataGuard, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
• It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 deleted 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.

July 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. ✗plicit 13:41, 13 July 2022 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

DG_2017 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I want to contribute to current privacy and compliance topics and share my knowledge in wikipedia. I understand with my article describing DataGuard was not objective enough but it was not my intention to advertise. My sole intention was to inform about what the company does in the privacy and compliance space and to show readers the difference between the company DataGuard and the software Oracle DataGuard. I will refrain from stating about any products or services related to DataGuard and keep it informational and high-level only. Sorry for the inconvenience. I am just getting used to the Wikipedia guidelines and will make sure to adhere to them DataCo GmbH (talk) 09:48, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Your choice of new username is not an improvement, it is just an abbreviated form of your company name plus its founding year. Usernames must be individualistic in nature(your real name is not required). Regarding the block itself, " My sole intention was to inform about what the company does in the privacy and compliance space and to show readers the difference between the company DataGuard and the software Oracle DataGuard." is the definition of promotion, you don't have to be soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets Wikipedia's special definition of a notable company. Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wishes to say about itself. Please read WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about anything for which you have a conflict of interest (i.e. your company or its field). If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a general contributor and editing about topics unrelated to your COI, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 12:34, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
