Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Real Estate Council of British Columbia (RECBC)[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 Draft:Real Estate Council of British Columbia (RECBC), 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.

July 2019[edit]

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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

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:

Hi there, My name is Bessie and I am a university student from canada. I am the organizer behind the account called RECBC and I made the account in Wikipedia so that I can contribute to helping edit and create new pages for the community. I study communications so I aspire to work in the field of editing and writing. By helping wikipedia, I will be contributing to all. I created a page called the real estate council of british columbia. They are the regulators for BC's real estate and as you may know, real estate is a hot topic currently in british columbia. It is important for members of the public, such as myself to learn more about how our real estate market works and how real estate professionals are compliant in their practice because there were a lot of negative backlash and shady operations. I was not trying to sound like I was advertising or marketing the organization and in fact, they are a non-profit. It is needed to thoroughly disucss the RECBC organization so that this ensures the public is in good hands and can make their own decisions about this organization. The community would greatly benefit from this article because they can get quick information and make smart choices. I hope to edit articles similar to the one that I drafted up on wikipedia. Articles that will help the public learn more about their own community such as local organizations, well-known people that have contributed to society, and historical issues about Canada so that we learn from our past. I believe it is because the drafted page on the real estate council of british columbia was flagged as having a advertisement or marketing language and that it was for the promotion of some sort of company but the real estate council is actually a non-profit and for the public.

Decline reason:

You seem to indicate that you are just here to publicize or promote your organization and what it does. That will not be permitted, as Wikipedia has no interest in helping potential clients or customers. Wikipedia treats non-profits no differently than for-profits. Please review WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID. You also have not proposed a new username as instructed in the block notice. Please follow the instructions in the block notice to propose a new username and tell what you will edit about that is unrelated to your conflict of interest if unblocked, as you won't be permitted to edit about RECBC or related subjects. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 22:52, 31 July 2019 (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.

I think you are confused about what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a place for organizations to merely tell the world about themselves and what they do. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the more specific definition of a notable organization). Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization wants to say about itself. If you want to be an individual, general Wikipedia contributor and edit about things unrelated to your conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. If you are only here to tell the world about your organization, you will not be unblocked, and should consider alternative forums where what you want to do is permitted.

Request reason:

Hello 331dot, thank you for this information. It is very helpful and I hope that the proposed new username is available. I would still like to be a part of the wikipedia community and contribute to other articles and subjects. I am interested in editing articles about different countries and cultures as I love traveling. I have lived in hong kong, south africa, and mexico so I hope to be of service when editing pages. I would also like to edit articles about authors as I am an avid reader for novels. I am great at finding reliable sources through the web and will be a valuable contributor. Thanks so much for your time.

Accept reason:

Real Estate Council of British Columbia moved to draftspace[edit]

An article you recently created, Real Estate Council of British Columbia, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. ~~ OxonAlex - talk 18:23, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Real Estate Council of British Columbia (October 6)[edit]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Bearcat was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

The references here are almost all primary sources, not reliable ones. To support notability, a reference has to be media coverage, not the organization's own self-published website about itself or content on a government or university website, so six of the eight sources here are doing absolutely nothing to establish that RECBC is notable. And of the two that are media coverage, the Vancouver Sun article just briefly mentions RECBC without being about RECBC, so it's not doing anything to establish RECBC's notability either. The only source here that's helping at all is the Investment Executive piece, but that's not enough all by itself -- it would take several sources of that type, not just one, to make RECBC notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

nd it has to be about RECBC, not just mention RECBC in passing.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Real Estate Council of British Columbia and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Real Estate Council of British Columbia, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
