Speedy deletion nomination of User:OutfitAddicts
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:OutfitAddicts, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
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. | Uncle Milty | talk | 18:30, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (It is a legit business based in Chicago IL. ) --OutfitAddicts (talk) 18:31, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- That's great! Trouble is, W is an encyclopedia. It is not a business directory or a webhost18:58, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- And as the user name = the name of a business, you will need a rename. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Right. But why are other businesses like stitch fix, trunk club listed? With their original name?
Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (Hey, our team wasn't finished with the page editing therefore it looks like a promotional page as of right now. We are a legit business based in Chicago, IL. Please wait till we complete the page with all the information that should be uploaded be provided. Thank you.) --OutfitAddicts (talk) 18:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
- So are you also stating that more than one person is using this account? --| Uncle Milty | talk | 18:38, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
Hey! As in team meaning, team member. I'm currently editing this page only. Are any of my team members not allowed to edit? I want to make sure in case so we could prevent it from happening. Thanks!
Also the infobox is not working properly. What can I do?
- Yeah no. In any event, your user page wasn't the place. There was a red notice above the text box to that effect. More to come. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:59, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

[edit]I'm Sorry, but I or another admin have deleted content from your user space. User:OutfitAddicts has been deleted.
User pages and User talk pages are intended only to promote collegiality among users. They are not to be used as a soapbox for writings not connected with the editorial process on Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service--not a personal website, blog, or social media site, nor are user pages intended to host a fake article, CV/resumé or lengthy autobiography. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia . Using Wikipedia for promotional purposes is intensely frowned upon. Doing so can lead to users being blocked from editing. Inappropriate/non conforming material may be deleted at any time. More information is available at THIS PAGE.
User sandboxess should not contain promotional material or material unconnected with improving Wikipedia, see above.
User space is not intended to contain articles. Please use the Article_wizard for drafting articles, or use the Articles for creation process. Subjects of encyclopedia articles must have significant verifiable information from reliable sources unconnected with the subject.
You might want to look at Wikipedia:Userboxes#Gallery as a means of telling colleagues about yourself.
Wikipedia:User page design center has information that can help you design a user page.
This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. Thank you.

Hello, OutfitAddicts. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but User:OutfitAddicts has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.
Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Users who do so may be blocked from editing. Promotional content is vigorously deleted. Wikipedia:Identifying_blatant_advertising#Typical_signs_of_blatant_advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Dlohcierekim/promo.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.
YOU CAN ASK FOR HELP AT THE TEAHOUSE
Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting as they can lead to repeated deletions. Wikipedia is not a webhost. You may wish to consider alternative outlets.
If you want to try again, please use the Article Wizard or articles for creation to guide you through the creation process.
You may find this tool useful: Google custom search Don't feel discouraged. My first attempts at creating articles were deleted too. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:00, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

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.
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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 19:01, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
