Speedy deletion nomination of User:Nostops

A tag has been placed on User:Nostops requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:10, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've replied to your request on the WP:REFUND page, but I'll repost the comment here:

I'm sorry, but I will not restore the page. The page paired with the username comes across as promotional in tone, but there's also the issue that Wikipedia is not a webhost or a place to promote things. Some content is allowable on userpages, but it should relate to Wikipedia editing and should not be solely about an organization. I've blocked you for having a promotional/COI username and you're free to seek an unblocking, but I will caution you that Wikipedia is not a place to promote your organization and that all organizations should pass notability guidelines before an article is created. Simply existing is not enough to show notability and we cannot keep an article or a userspace area because it would be WP:USEFUL to someone. I'd recommend that if you are unblocked, that you instead create an article via WP:AfC rather than post an "about us" section on your userpage. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 07:15, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
