Speedy deletion nomination of Asante Africa Foundation[edit]

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 Asante Africa Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Requested username:

new Afrisante (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I want to change my username and I would appreciate help with instructions in doing it Afrisante (talk) 01:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You have to choose a completely different name that has nothing to do with the organization, not just "new Afrisante." Also, per our conflict of interest guidelines, you are strongly urged not to make edits that have to do with the Asante Africa Foundation. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:07, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

per King of hearts suggestion I have changed username but I still do not understand how conflict of interest arises in Asante Africa Foundation article. It is neutral and notable with credible sources. Kindly advise.

Decline reason:

No response to query below in four days. -- Daniel Case (talk) 21:40, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 02:50, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Changing to incorporate username policy

Decline reason:

The new username is fine, so I have renamed your account. The problem is you have not answered the questions asked by Daniel Case immediately above.

Please make a new unblock request using {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} and provide answers to those questions. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 09:26, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
