Speedy deletion nomination of Joubert Botha
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Joubert Botha, 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, product, group, service or person 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. -- GB fan 13:24, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

[edit] Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Joubert Botha. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. -- GB fan 13:39, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Your request
[edit]In response to your request, even though this account is blocked, you can still edit this page. I suggest you make your request in that way. Bear in mind several things, though. First, you referred to three accounts. There are four that I'm aware of. Second, your purpose in being at Wikipedia is an obvious conflict of interest. Thus, putting the socking aside, it's unlikely that you will be permitted to promote your client. So, even if you convince administrators that you didn't intend to sock, it may all be for naught. Wikipedia is not a platform for agencies to promote clients.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:35, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Okay, I do not need or want 4 accounts or profiles. So firstly, how do I remove those please? Secondly, I do not wish to promote my client through Wikipedia. I simply want the profile up, as with Sahar Biniaz's profile, that is a reference point with information for anyone who search for them and more information. He is seen as South Africa's Top social media influencer, apart from being a the founder of several companies, so we do not need to promote him. It was suppose to be a profile similar to that of Ryk Neethling. Please advise how to go about. ThanksMagdel Steyn (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, all that sounds like is promotion. And we don't use the word "profile". Maybe it's a PR term or a South African PR term, but it's not a word used on Wikipedia. You haven't convinced me that you're here to improve the encyclopedia.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:46, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
