Speedy deletion nomination of SinFire Cinnamon Whisky

A tag has been placed on SinFire Cinnamon Whisky, 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/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Syrthiss (talk) 15:30, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

August 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw your changes to SinFire Cinnamon Whisky, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "SinFire2012", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 15:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

FancyPants123 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please unblock my name and I will change it to something more personal. Re JamesBWatson (talk) 16:33, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Despite the fact that the blocking administrator chose to give you a block notice that put the amin emphasis on the username, that is not the only issue, as the block notice does indicate. There are also the fact that your editing has been done on behalf of a business, and the fact that that editing has been promotional. If you wish to be unblocked then you will have to persuade us that your future editing will not be promotional, and that you intend to make contributions other than creating content about your business on behalf of that business.

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.

FancyPants123 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

FancyPants123 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I realize that I was blocked for making posts of a promotional nature. Being new to Wikipedia I wasn't finished editing the page, most of the information I found online and freely admit still had a promotional tone and I apologize for posting in an unfinished, promotional manner. I should had researched the proper way to edit a page in more detail, I thought I understood but realize now I didn't have full knowledge. I fully intended to edit the page to reflect a more neutral tone. I was going to include information about a recent lawsuit brought against the company, linking to sources discussing the suit. I would love the opportunity to prove that I intend to contribute to Wikipedia in a manner other than just this one page, there were several other topics I have an interest in editing and adding to including some competitions, social media topics, physical activities such as mud runs, etc.

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:18, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 19:55, 2 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, Anthony Bradbury, I understand your above questions and understand that a simple username change doesn't negate those rules. Since I have been blocked, I took the opportunity to review Wikipedia's Policies and Guidelines WP:GUIDELINES in greater detail to ensure that I am always following the policies. It is not my intention to flout the rules or to cause issues it was only my intention to add/edit information that I find of interest. As I mentioned previously there are multiple topics that I would be pleased to contribute to within Wikipedia.

I feel the user has address the concerns and understands them. I would not oppose. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:35, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've accepted the unblock request, provided that the name change is put in at the username change board (the "renameuser" template here won't do anything, it has to be requested there), and upon refraining from any further promotional or otherwise non-neutral editing. SinFire (soon to be ShinyThings), if you have any questions, please refer to the links in the welcome template above, and if you're still unsure, feel free to stop by my talk page and ask me.
