Thank you! This is quite helpful. As a new contributor, I have read some of these and thought I was following the rules, but clearly I might have missed the mark. I'll keep trying and I really appreciate your hand-holding.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Orange Academy Lagos

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 Draft:Orange Academy Lagos, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Request reason:

While the blocker claims I was deliberately promoting my business, I kindly contest that this is not true. I'm an alumni of Orange Academy Lagos like hundreds of others, and my excitement and might have been too excited to talk about the historical significance of the academy in growing the creative economy in Africa, especially in Nigeria. Having reviewed the first reviewer's statement, I was ready to make these edits in compliance to wiki standards but then I have been blocked. Lastly, I might have clicked PUBLISH when in fact I was only testing out a draft. It's my first time writing a full article and I'm looking forward to learning the ropes. Again, I hope the block is reversed so I can continue to contribute to this great institution. Thank you

Decline reason:

There was nothing salvageable in your draft. It was breathtakingly inappropriate for an encyclopedia, one of the worst violations of WP:PROMO that I've ever seen. There's no indication you understand and acknowledge that and, frankly, no chance you'll be unblocked to write about Orange Academy. If this is your only goal here, this is the end of the line. Otherwise, convince us you understand what you were doing incorrectly and tell us what you plan to write about instead. Yamla (talk) 11:23, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

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.

Yamla I was hoping I could write about the rising creative economy in Nigeria and Africa and the contribution of this academy to this phenomenon especially as it looks at Africa from a different perspective. Looking back at my earlier draft and the reviews, I could have focussed more on the subject instead of frontloading the academy's role in it. Hopefully, I can continue to write about this important subject and others in the nearest future, if you will kindly unblock. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagunjagun23 (talk • contribs)

It's highly unlikely you'll be blocked to write about that, given your inappropriate contributions so far. --Yamla (talk) 12:12, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Yamla kindly advise or suggest how I might regain my status back, given that I'm totally new here. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jagunjagun23 (talk • contribs)

You need to convince us you understand what was wrong with your edits, you need to convince us you thoroughly understand WP:PROMO, and you need to tell us what you plan to write about instead, now that you understand you will not be unblocked to write about Orange Academy and related content. We don't want you to just say you understand, you need to convince us. So far, all you've done is say you want to write about Orange Academy, even after you were told "If this is your only goal here, this is the end of the line." Basically, you seem to be wasting our time. --Yamla (talk) 12:48, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Again, I totally understand the burden of administering this huge work here. I'm not here to promote an entity. I'd like to contribute to talks about the creative economy, Africa creatives rising and other such topics. I apologize that I had written about orange in my first-ever article. I have read your policy on promotions etc, and I will take this to heart when contributing or writing next time around. If I'm given the chance. Thank you for your patience. Jagunjagun23 (talk) 12:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

No. I will not respond further. --Yamla (talk) 12:59, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

What sort of arrogant response is this? With "NO" as the header - twice. Why don't you act in good faith rather than arrogant comments about how the user needs to 'convince us you understand what was wrong with your edits' - you really need admin rights taking off you.

And before you fly off the handle - I am not User:Jagunjagun23 - I'm a Wikipedia user fed up of arrogant admins who say things like "We don't want you to just say you understand, you need to convince us" - we don't need to convince you of anything, we need to convince the powers that be to take admin rights off you.

As a young person of color aspiring to be a wikipedian, nothing in my short career prepared me for this moment. I have had to call on my therapist last night - something I hadn't done since Covid. I keep telling myself, it's the workload of being an admin. It must not be an easy task moderating this site. Or perhaps it's the culture and I need to just spend more time in my sandbox. I'm sure there are great people here who just want to make the world a safe space for all. Thank you, thank you. Jagunjagun23 (talk) 05:24, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
