To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of this 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 this 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Kashable

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:Kashable, 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 "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.

Request reason:

I respectfully request that this page be unblocked due to it being a fact based page with no promotional value. It is a page describing a first of its kind voluntary group benefits. There are 3rd party validations and it will not be used for any promotional purposes. This page will continue to be fact based, and will continue to add 3rd party non-biased sources. Thank you very much

Decline reason:

Clarification; we don't block pages, we block accounts. This account has been blocked for spam username violations, and the Kashable article was deleted per our policies forbidding advertising (not to mention that it clearly doesn't meet WP:CORP notability guidelines). Your account won't be unblocked unless you agree to stop attempting to advertise your company on Wikipedia. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:00, 4 March 2016 (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.

Request reason:

Hello, I wanted to reach out again to see if we could come to an understanding to get this page unblocked. We're not interested in any advertising or promotional value for this page, it's simply an informational page to explain voluntary employee benefits from Kashable. I've seen countless other companies with similar wiki pages. We have a slew of third party validated articles and references that we're happy to include-- including articles from the Wall Street Journal, LA Times, BenefitsPro, Employee Benefit News, etc. Please let me know if we could get this unblocked and move forward! Thanks

Decline reason:

Again, we don't block pages, we block user accounts. The article as written was inappropriate for Wikipedia, as pointed out above. And in general, it's inappropriate for you to be editing such an article as you have a conflict of interest. See WP:COI. Anyway, as you have provided no grounds to unblock your user account (and in any case, your username is inappropriate), I'm declining the unblock. Yamla (talk) 15:52, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
