Your submission at Articles for creation: Funovation (February 26)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by WikiDan61 was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Funovation and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Funovation, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

It's a product-placing advert, full of embedded links. Tagging for deletion.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Funovator 07, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:44, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment[edit]

Normally a spam user name would be blocked without allowing a new account to be formed. Since you have declared your COI, I haven't done that, but you aren't allowed to edit on behalf of a company, so if you attempt to write about your comapny again, I'll change it to a hard block Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:47, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jimfbleak: @Huon: this user created Funovation shortly after getting unblocked (as well as their name change request) - I tagged it as A7 and only just saw this comment. Reblock? Iffy★Chat -- 23:20, 2 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For now I have deleted the article (which was a single line without sources) but won't re-block. Leigh33, you're aware of the draft process, and if you intend to write about a company regarding which you have a conflict of interest, I'd strongly advise you to create a draft and to submit it for a review by an experienced editor instead of creating a live page yourself. You may also want to consider the possibility that the company simply isn't notable enough to be the subject of an encyclopedia article. Huon (talk) 00:37, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Funovation[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 Funovation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 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.

Reblock[edit]

Iffy, thanks. My inclination is to block again since this account clearly has no other purpose than to promote the company and could be blocked as spam-only or editing on behalf of a company, both of which are forbidden. However, Huon has clearly seen the new article, since he deleted it, and has not re-blocked, so I'm reluctant to take a contradictory action. I'm in trouble elsewhere for trying to slap down a paid editor who has taken the view that since they have declared they can post what they like, so I'll leave it to Huon Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:46, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
