Speedy deletion nomination of User:Bet King Nigeria[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Bet King Nigeria, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. 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.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (it expressly provides information about the company to help researches understand what the company truly represents. All or parts of the information posted here could also be found on the "About Us" section of the company page, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.) --Bet King Nigeria (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And that is exactly the point - wikipedia is not facebook or linked in or a company website, it is an encyclopedia. It is not for writing about yourself or your company. If you continue to do so you will be blocked from editing. Melcous (talk) 15:34, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your username[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Bet King Nigeria", may not comply with our username policy.

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username.

April 2018[edit]

Hello, Bet King Nigeria. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but User:Bet King Nigeria has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising#Typical signs of blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD#G11 give the appearance of an editor violating Wikipedia:Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.

You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too.

There is more information at Wikipedia:Community portal. There is help available at THE TEAHOUSE. Cheers, and happy editing. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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 or a web site, 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:55, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Bet King Nigeria (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

Ruby at BetKing Nigeria (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

The previous username represents the name of a company. This mistake will not be repeated again. The account will be contributing to the general growth of wikipedia by providing informative, non-promotional contents

Decline reason:

Your proposed username is acceptable. However, you will need to indicate that you have read about conflict of interest at WP:COI and paid editing at WP:PAID, and intend to comply with those policies. As you will not be unblocked to merely tell the world about your website or business, we will need to know what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit about instead. Until that is addressed, you can't be unblocked. As such, I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 19:39, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock discussion[edit]

Thanks, the user name is conforming. I will leave it to others to consider the unblock request.--Dlohcierekim (talk) 16:29, 27 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
