Speedy deletion nomination of User:TOAD.ai/sandbox edit

 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:TOAD.ai/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Alexf(talk) 10:40, 8 April 2020 (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).

Request reason:

we are not advertising. Rather, we are creating an article to connect with the page for the BBC's Dragon's Den in the UK, which aired recently. It is not described in a biased or favorable manner. The intention is also wider. It is hoped that the article can tie together more information about the Outdoor Advertising market (billboards and bus stops etc)

Decline reason:

That you don't think you were advertising when you were suggests you have too much of a conflict of interest to be able to edit about your directory. You won't be unblocked to continue to edit about it; if that is your only goal here, you won't be unblocked. If you want to edit about other subjects unrelated to your conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. You will also need to propose a new username and designate a single individual to exclusively operate this account. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 13:10, 8 April 2020 (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.
