Welcome![edit]

Hello, FranzeseGourmetFoods, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Franzese Gourmet Foods, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Here's a few key questions:

1) Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory? 2) Do you understand conflict of interest? 3) Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable? You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:40, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

1) Yes 2) Yes. I did not thoroughly understand the username policy when initially creating the account and page. I am a third-party not directly associated with the company. I am a consumer and fan of this company's products that are increasingly being sold in fine stores across the U.S. and internationally online. 3) Yes. I believe that this company and its products are noteworthy, and growing increasingly so. I was actually surprised that no page already existed and simply tried to create one. Any further advice or insight on how I might be able to go about creating this page would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Speedy deletion nomination of Franzese Gourmet Foods[edit]

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 Franzese Gourmet Foods, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be 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 or person 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/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

February 2016[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service.

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 this 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. BethNaught (talk) 19:14, 6 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

1) Yes 2) Yes. I did not thoroughly understand the username policy when initially creating the account and page. I am a third-party not directly associated with the company. I am a consumer and fan of this company's products that are increasingly being sold in fine stores across the U.S. and internationally online. 3) Yes.

Decline reason:

Nice, but as it was already explained to you above, you should use the {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} template and propose a new username that does not conflict with our username policy. Also you say that you believe that this company and its products are noteworthy. You probably read about Wikipedia's WP:NOTABILITY policy. Now, please, can you show us some reliable sources to prove that the company and its products are noteworthy? Vanjagenije (talk) 11:30, 7 February 2016 (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.
