A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Denhamblytheco/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, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Mdann52talk to me! 14:06, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

i will be happy to edit my username accordingly.
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I am still writing an article about the history of our company. I am a new user and trying to navigate properly how to build a clean and concise article. The information I have "posted" is only available in the "Sandbox" feature; I was under the impression that the Sandbox wasn't a public page. I apprectiate your feedback, but I would ask that you respect my privacy and timing in building the page. ) --Denhamblytheco (talk) 14:30, 16 October 2013 (UTC)
- I have moved this down, because new messages usually go at the bottom of talk pages, in order to keep the conversation in order.
- You can request an unblock to change username as explained at the bottom of the blue block notice above, or you can simply abandon this account and create a new, individual one. Your new username may be related to your real name or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations) but it should not be the name of any other living person, or of any group or company.
- Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them; that is partly for legal reasons concerned with attribution and copyright, but also because accounts named for groups or companies are evidently here to edit for those groups or companies, and with the best intentions edit with the aim of promoting them; but Wikipedia is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. The important thing to understand, which I personally think we should do more to explain to new users at sign on time, is that Wikipedia is not a place for people or companies to tell the world about themselves. There are "notice-board" sites like Facebook and Myspace for that, but Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which is different.
- Even with an individual account, in anything to do with your company you would have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide - in summary, don't edit directly about any subject in which you have a COI, but suggest changes or draft articles for an uninvolved user to consider.
