Speedy deletion nomination of Kolau

Hello Kolau,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Kolau for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Widr (talk) 20:34, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello - The entry - even though was that of a company - did not have as a goal the self-promotion, in any way. Our philantropic initiative to help the unemployed youth has sparkled a movement of young programmers in Spain and areas with high young unemployment aside from headlines in major reputable news outlets. This program, part of Kolau, is in itself noteworthy aside from the business' aim at helping small businesses. We strongly believe the entry was neither advertorial nor self-promotional and can remove the external links at the bottom if need be. Thank you for considering this appeal.

Decline reason:

This unblock request is obviously superseded by the one below. Please, do not make more than one unblock request at a time. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:27, 29 March 2017 (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.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request.

Requested username:

danny-software (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Thank you for letting me know about the policy not allowing names to be those of businesses - this is not meant to be a business-centered account but rather an account commited to raising awareness about solutions to unemployment in general and young unemployment in particlar. Connecting also new technologies to how they solve everyday's problems, like the do-it-yourself will also be a focus of our editing/creating efforts. Thanks for your consideration!

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request for those reasons:

It is obvious to me that you do not understand that Wikipedia does not allow any kind of WP:PROMOTION. Promoting charities and non-for profit companies is forbidden the same way as promoting for-profit business. From your comments, it seams that, if unblocked, you plan to continue promoting your business.
In Wikipedia, editing while in the WP:Conflict of interest is strongly discouraged. Since you are connected to Kolau, you shouldn't be editing about that subject at all, even if edits are not promotional.
Wikipedia does not allow WP:Shared accounts. You keep referring to yourself as "we" which gives impression that this account is being used by more than one person. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:35, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Is there other information we need to provide to have the page/account created? Kolau (talk) 21:40, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

{{|unblock | reason=Aside from the aforementioned supporting arguments to prove the entry followed Wikipedia's guidelines as the content, albeit mentioning a company, was not only about the business, but also about something bigger that counts with official government support, media coverage and represents a real and revolutionary solution to a real problem, I would like to (1) express our concern and disappointed that the entry wasn't read/judged in its entirety and (2) ask for feedback since we sincerely believe in the enciclopedial relevance of the entry. We are new, yes, but our aim is to become an asset and become frequent contributors on technology and employment - related topics. Thanks again for reviewing our appeal. Your task is appreciated and our will is to ensure we stay compliant and informative.}} Kolau (talk) 22:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I deactivated the unblock request above because there were three unblock requests at the same time, and we don't allow more than one. Vanjagenije (talk) 08:35, 29 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
