Welcome!

Hello, Flair Pens, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Flair Pens/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Flair Pens/sandbox

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Flair Pens/sandbox, 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.

June 2018

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Max Semenik (talk) 08:10, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

We are just trying to make a Wikipedia Page for our company, and I believe we might not have provided the information in an unbiased manner which led to blocking us from editing and publishing on Wikipedia, We shall keep in mind the guidelines and norms which must be followed to create and edit information on this website and We shall provide you with information which is neutral and does not Promote or Advertise our Brand in any way and keep it in our minds. Hereby we kindly request you to unblock us.

Decline reason:

You have not chosen an appropriate username per the username policy; your name must indicate you as an individual user. You must also do the following to be unblocked-

you must confirm that this account is used by one individual only
you must agree to avoid creating or directly editing articles related to your organization (requested edits will still be permitted)
you must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy
you must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organization, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets.

So we know understanding is mutual, please state your understanding/response to each item in your own words.

I'm sorry that this message could not be more favorable. 331dot (talk) 08:40, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand that Wikipedia is not social media or other forum to merely tell about a business, or for a business to "have a page" about itself. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that has articles about subjects like businesses, which are not under the exclusive control of the business/subject. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has little to no interest in what a business wants to say about itself. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state with in depth coverage about a business. This does not include the company website, staff interviews, press releases, or any other primary sources. You would have to forget everything you know about your business and only write based on the content of independent sources. This is usually difficult for people in your position to do. As I indicated, if you are only here to write about your business, you will not be unblocked. If you want to be a general Wikipedia contributor, please follow the instructions I gave above. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 08:47, 7 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
