Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Dycom Industries

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 Draft:Dycom Industries, 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 be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/palm-beach-gardens/profile/telecommunication-design/fiber-cable-inc-0633-26001345. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. creffett (talk) 22:17, 1 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 2019

There have been two problems 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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 that 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Request reason:

Good morning. I do not believe that this user should have been blocked nor the page "Dycom Industries" deleted. I am knowledgeable about the communications construction business and and am able to add valuable encyclopedic content around this subject matter. The initial purpose of creating this user was to do just that. I was reading another Wikipedia page that made a specific reference to Dycom and I noticed that there was no related page. I do work for Dycom so I can see the potential conflict of interest but my position is as a Manager of Industry Reporting. To that end it is my job to know about this industry and its participants. There are few others that would be able to contribute to this subject matter in as meaningful of a way. Regarding the "Dycom Industries" page. One of the messages indicated that there was copyrighted material derived from a bbb website. I am not sure who supplied them that description but it was probably Dycom. I am not sure that they really even have the copyright to that description. All that being said I am happy to reword that passage. Dycom however is a Fortune 1000 company with a rich 50 year history. They have helped shape the economies in which they are involved and have contributed immensely to the development of communication systems in this country. Dycom is a major player with a story to tell and I wanted to open up that forum for discussion. If you look at any of the other comparable size companies they ALL have Wikipedia pages; think H&R Block, Steelcase, Twitter, E-Trade, and Spirit Airlines. This is not creating a page to promote a business and in fact its very unlikely that creating that page will have any promotional value whatsoever. This is creating a page to tell a story of a large company that is deeply intertwined in the American economy. It makes sense to have that page for the same reason that it makes sense to have a page for Spirit Airlines. Not because its going to help Spirit Airlines sell tickets, but because knowing their story adds context and color to the airline industry and the economy as a whole. Knowing the story of Dycom will help add similar context and color to our industry and I think this is evidenced by that fact that we are being specifically referred to by existing Wikipedia pages. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks.

Decline reason:

As you are unwilling to follow the instructions or comply with our policies, I decline this unblock request. Yamla (talk) 16:12, 2 August 2019 (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.

Dycom2 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

"Unwilling" is an extremely strong characterization. I never said I was "unwilling" to do anything, ever. I am overly willing to comply if you can explain to me which parts I am not in compliance with so I can rectify them. I disagree that either my account or the page I created should be blocked for the above reasons. Please reconsider your decision and understand that I am completely willing to comply with whatever policies necessary. I fully grasp the potentials for conflict of interest and am willing to work extra hard to ensure that they don't happen. I am also willing to do all of this in a very open and transparent way by disclosing my position and asking for assistance in following the policies. I could have tried some back door way to get a page up and running if that was my number one goal but instead I am attempting to do things the right way. Please help me in this endeavor. Thanks.

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, but I cannot unblock you at this time. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations To be unblocked:

Please 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. Please see below.:

you must propose a new username that meets the username policy
you must confirm that this account is used by one individual only
you must agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organisation (requested edits will still be permitted)
you must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
you must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organisation, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets.

(Any other admin should feel free to amend these conditions or unblock at their discretion.) -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:38, 2 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
