Speedy deletion nomination of V Press LC

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 V Press LC, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Request reason:

I tried to follow other publishers to create a wiki page for V Press LC. I gave the reason that the founder created the press, which was not readily available in social forums and it may have read like an advertisement. I would like to hire someone who is able to create/write a wiki page that will adhere to wiki policies and not read like spam/advertising. I cannot do that if I am blocked. Please advise.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia does not have "wiki pages", it has articles. This is a subtle but important distinction. Wikipedia articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic(including being hired). Articles are not owned by the subject and the subject has no more rights to them than any other editor, see WP:OWN. A Wikipedia article about a company must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the company, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable company. Wikipedia is not interested in what a company wants to say about itself, only in what others completely unconnected with the company choose to say about it. This does not include the company website, press releases, announcements of routine business activities, brief mentions, staff interviews, or other primary sources. If you work for or represent this company, please read conflict of interest and paid editing. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about this company, so we will need to know what you will edit about instead. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 12:41, 28 September 2022 (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.

Please note that anyone you hire to write about your company must clearly disclose that per the paid editing policy. You should not hand over one penny until you see the finished product- and despite what they might tell you, they can make no guaratees(such as writing an article that will not be deleted). 331dot (talk) 12:41, 28 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
