Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Alan Pinkus

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:Alan Pinkus, 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.

December 2023

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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|reason=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. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 09:53, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not at all affiliated with the Alan Pinkus brand, I just simply didnt know what to make my username and didnt particularly want my own name to be used. Sorry for the confusion. I wanted to make this page to preserve the legacy of this now shrinking Australian brand

Decline reason:

This doesn't address your blatantly inappropriate article. Yamla (talk) 12:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please outline to me how the article is inappropriate, and what can be done to make it appropriate? Alanpinkus (talk) 22:14, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not here to advertise or promote the Alan Pinkus brand, I wish to make this page to preserve the legacy and memory of a once dominante force in the Austrlaian footwear industry, that is slowly dissaperaring. If there is somthing about my article that needs to be changed inorder for it to be poseted I would be greatful if it could be explained to me. Alanpinkus (talk) 00:22, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Wikipedia is not a place to memorialize or document the existence of something- that's promotion here. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, what we term notability- such as the definition of a notable company. The sources you offered did not provide significant coverage of this company, showing how it meets that notability definition. Writing a new article is the most difficult task to attempt on Wikipedia, while it's possible to dive right in and do so, we highly recommend that new users first gain experience and knowledge by using the new user tutorial and editing existing articles in areas that interest them before taking the plunge into article creation. You will need to learn more about Wikipedia and be able to tell us what was wrong with your draft before you will be permitted to again attempt to submit a draft about it. If there are other edits you want to make instead, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:44, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
