Speedy deletion nomination of User:North Patchogue Fire Department

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:North Patchogue Fire Department, 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 removed 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. — fortunavelut luna 04:18, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

July 2017

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, 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. Widr (talk) 04:42, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

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:

We don't have any type of username to replace that one so it would probably be best if we just delete the North Patchogue Fire Department username and start fresh if that is acceptable by you. (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

we are sorry we where only doing as we saw as in like when you search for the Trump Plaza. But now knowing that we can't do those kind of pages it will not be done. Can you please unblock our ip. Thank you and our apologies we will check with the help desk when we are ready to try again. Thanks again for your patience and understanding a new user.

Decline reason:

There are several problems with this request:

1) Accounts can not be deleted.

2) If you were to start fresh you would need a new username, so why not use that username here to request an unblock?

2) You are not allowed to start again with a fresh account while this one is blocked - you would need to follow the full instructions in the block message to request an unblock.

3) You make it sound like this account is used by multiple people (by your use of "we"), and that's also not allowed. A Wikipedia account is for a single person only and the name must represent only that person (it doesn't have to be a real name - any imaginative nickname will do).

Having said all that, if you wish to abandon this joint account and then have an individual person or persons set up their own account at a significantly later date, I think that would probably be acceptable - providing any individuals on any new accounts fully understand Wikipedia's policies on user accounts and promotional editing. But if you want to start again now, you will need to make a new unblock request (to unblock your IP), make a convincing case that you understand all of these problems, and explain what editing you will do if unblocked.

{{unblock-spamun| John Weiss | After reading through your Teahouse papers and your FAQ pages I now understand that the page I made under the North Patchogue Fire Department by no means follows the Wiki guidelines and apologize for not reading through those papers first and have since been reading the newcomers links like my first article and my contributions and understand what and why it was blocked. I also understand that by me using the word we was also a in proper use of language. Thank you for your patience and help in making me understand the proper use of your site I only wish I would have understood this all before being blocked as I understand know. }}
