Speedy deletion of Silicon Valley Education Foundation

A tag has been placed on Silicon Valley Education Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Kafka Liz (talk) 04:20, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Silicon Valley Education Foundation, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 05:05, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

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).

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

Request reason:

I didn't realize how quickly this works and I didn't create my page first on my user page. I am sorry, I will do it right next time so that I can cite the appropriate references and get my page uploaded. It may have seemed like I was editing a lot of pages, but I was just trying to understand how code works by viewing other pages. Please swiftly unblock me, as this is set up for a work foundation and I need this done by tomorrow

Decline reason:

The problem is not in your coding. Your username is the name of a real organization, which is against the username guidelines, and you appear to be here to promote your own organization, which is against the advertising guidelines and the conflict of interest guidelines. Wikipedia isn't a forum for promotion. If you're interested in helping to write an encyclopedia, you should create a personal username and write about things you don't have a direct personal interest in - avoid writing about yourself or your own organization. If you only wanted to promote your organization, you won't need an active account, but you're still welcome to read Wikipedia articles. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:29, 12 December 2008 (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.

I'm not sure you understand the reason for your block. It was not because you created your article in the wrong place, but rather because you persisted in creating the article at all. The Silicon Valley Educational Foundation does not appear to meet out standards of inclusion and, in any event, you appeared to be using Wikipedia primarily to promote it. If I unblock you, I'll need you to i. agree to stop writing about that organization, ii. tell me what sort of editing you expect to do, and iii. agree to change your username to something less promotional.
