Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Ranger Ready Repellents[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:Ranger Ready Repellents, 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.

June 2021[edit]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:09, 9 June 2021 (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.

Requested username:

LaurenG (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that I cannot write the wikipedia article for my company (even though it was just in drafts and I was nowhere near finished and also was going to ask for edits to make it unbiased. I would like to use this forum anyway since I went through the trouble of learning how to create content and edit content on here and it is now fun.

Decline reason:

Per below that username is taken. — Daniel Case (talk) 04:30, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What topics will you edit about since you are agreeing to not edit about your company? 331dot (talk) 21:56, 9 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have been editing music and business related topics since that is what my degree is in.

"LaurenG" already exists as a username. Please choose something else; you may simply replace "LaurenG" with your new choice, do not make a new request. Justlettersandnumbers, do you have any further concerns? 331dot (talk) 11:49, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for ping, 331dot. Once the username is changed, and as long as we're quite clear that there's going to be no more corporate promotion (and that includes promotion of related bug-spray ingredients, RangerReady), OK for anyone to unblock if and when they see fit.
