A tag has been placed on Vermont sports network requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for being a Spam / Advertising-only account. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. ¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 17:10, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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

Request reason:

I am new to the website and still learning. Please grant me another try and restore my post for Vermont Sports Network.

Decline reason:

You do not seem to understand the reason you have been blocked. Wikipedia is not a vehicle to advertise your company. That you indicate that you wish to continue to try to advertise your company is why this unblock request has been declined. — Jayron32.talk.contribs 05:13, 28 April 2008 (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.

LocalSportsNet, if you are willing to simply edit existing articles so that you could get a feel for our policies and guidelines, without creating new articles, you're more likely to be unblocked. I know this can be confusing at times, and there's a lot to take in. If you can do this then I would be willing to start a discussion about your unblock. However, I don't like sticking my neck out for no reason, so I'm only willing to do this if you refrain from creating any new articles (for the time being). -- Ned Scott 05:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
