Speedy deletion nomination of Superior Cheer

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 Superior Cheer, 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 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.

Request reason:

"Advertising and Self-promotion" was unintentional, I felt that this page was no different than Nfinity Athletic Corporation or Varsity Brands. The parent company "Pearison Inc" has been in business since 1970, far longer than the Nfinity brand above, and I felt it worthy of a page. I began with the Superior Cheer subsidiary to get a better understanding of the format and to be able to fill in information for an underserved subject matters (cheerleading and marching band) as scholastic activities. Additionally, I understand that edits should have been made in the sandbox, it was my mistake for publishing without reviewing it for biased content. It was a work in progress. Again, advertising was not my intention. Bandshoppe (talk) 18:54, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You will not be unblocked until:

• you propose a new username that meets the username policy
• you confirm that this account is used by one individual only
• you agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organisation (requested edits will still be permitted)
• you agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose your paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
• you indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organisation, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:32, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

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.

Do you have a connection with Pearison or Band Shoppe? SQL^{Query me!} 20:14, 28 October 2019 (UTC)

I do. I work with Pearison Inc as a web developer but my intention is not a promotion of the company. I understand that pages on this website should be as unbiased as possible from an analytical viewpoint. Because Pearison Inc (and Superior Cheer) is a major employer in the Cynthiana, IN area (along with Posey County, Indiana), I felt that it was worthy of a page. I'm happy to rewrite the page to make it more like Nfinity Athletic Corporation or make a formal page request. My intention was not to deface Wikipedia. Thank you for taking the time to review my appeal. Bandshoppe (talk) 21:08, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
