Speedy deletion nomination of Snowbank Brewing
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 Snowbank Brewing, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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.

Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, such as you did in the article Snowbank Brewing. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:13, 27 June 2017 (UTC)
There have been two problems 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 that 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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).
If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=Crafty9}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:
{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=Crafty9 | 3= I am unfamiliar with the policies of Wikipedia and posted content that was viewed as promotional or in an effort to promote the business. I am very sorry for posting that material and will not do so again. I was unfamiliar with the guidelines, but I understand now. I also read additional information on how a username can not denote a specific business or entity, but rather a singular person who exists to make accurate edits on pages that fall within Wikipedia's guidelines. I am sorry for not fully understanding the guidelines previously. I would like to be a member of the community and contribute while changing the username to reflect myself as an individual and not as a business. I'm also to please revoke the block as I believe this was a misunderstanding; however, I do understand why I was blocked and will not post content that could or is promotional in any way in the future. | 4=~~~~}}
If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:
{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=Crafty9 | reason= I am unfamiliar with the policies of Wikipedia and posted content that was viewed as promotional or in an effort to promote the business. I am very sorry for posting that material and will not do so again. I was unfamiliar with the guidelines, but I understand now.

I'm also to please revoke the block as I believe this was a misunderstanding; however, I do understand why I was blocked and will not post content that could or is promotional in any way in the future. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}
If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.
