Speedy deletion nomination of Legendary Bingo[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 Legendary Bingo, 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. —C.Fred (talk) 00:13, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re this comment on my talk page:

You recently deleted a page but I am new to Wikipedia and am unsure of exactly why. Is it possible to point to the specific content that needs to be addressed or deleted.

Frankly, the entire article is the problem. The tone of the article is overtly promotional; Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a place to blatantly promote your product or website. Given that you named your account after the website, that reinforces the appearance that you created the account only to promote the site.

If Legendary Bingo is a notable enough website to have an article, there will need to be reliable sources published independently (i.e., not press releases) that demonstrate the notability, and the article should be written by people with no connect to or conflict of interest with the site. —C.Fred (talk) 00:38, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

An additional comment: your username is a problem as well. Wikipedia account names can never represent an organization or group of people. An account's edits must be attributable to a single individual over the account's entire lifetime, and accounts can never be shared. Please request a change of username as soon as possible - otherwise this account will be blocked from editing on those grounds. Thank you. --Drm310 (talk) 03:23, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
