WP:UAA reports on users with no edits
Generally, there is no reason to report usernames with no edits whatsoever. Per WP:UAAI :"Wait until the user edits. Do not report a user that hasn't edited unless they are clearly a vandal. We do not want to welcome productive editors with a report at UAA, nor do we want to waste our time dealing with accounts that may never be used." The exceptions are obvious hate speech or names that attack a living person/Wikipedia editor, those are blockable even without any edits, but other run-of-the-mill violations need not be reported unless and until they at least attempt to edit, and you should be able to clearly explain what the problem is if it is not immediately evident.
For whatever reason, every day dozens, if not hundreds of accounts are created that never make one single edit. It is our responsibility as admins to conscientiously review every report a user makes at UAA, so we have to check for contribs, deleted contribs, and tripping of the edit filter for every one of these reports, only to find out there's nothing there and therefore no problem to be solved. So we add the {{wait}} tag to the report, it goes to WP:UAA/HP for a week or more, and must then be reviewed again to see if the account has since become active before removing it. That's time that could be spent doing more productive things, but you basically obligate admins to do it by making such reports. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:31, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
CSD - incorrect nomination
Hi. You nominated Draft:Meghbela Cable and Broadband Services Private Limited for speedy deletion for spam. I have declined the nomination because there was no content, and therefore cannot be classified as blatant advertising. I appreciate your efforts in helping Wikipedia, but I have to say that nominating a draft article for deletion minutes after the page has been created where there is no evidence for speedy deletion can come across as a bit much - see Do Not Bite the Newbies. By all means nominate obvious candidates for speedy deletion as soon as possible, but I would suggest that when there is no content you check the history first to see if there is a need for speedy deletion (for example the User's name as the company name, or if has been many months without editing).

Template
Hi there KITW, from Portugal,
not quite sure why that template was placed on my page as i only have two IP (this here at home, this from work https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/193.137.135.2), but that's fine my conscience is clear (that in case you are wondering I am engaging in IP-hopping behaviour). I am also sure your overall intentions are the best regarding the project, so I will not remove anything.

- I know my fellow user, I did not imply any accusation of wrongdoings from you, I was just preparing my defence should that be the case :) Believe it or not, I have had two accounts since joining almost 11 years ago, have asked that both be vanished (separately) because I had the intention of leaving never to return again (fed up with vandalism, trolls, etc), only to find I cannot. --85.242.133.151 (talk) 01:53, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
I take note of your kind offer, we'll see tomorrow. Peace! --85.242.133.151 (talk) 02:05, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Hey how you doing? Hope all is well. I just wanted to reach back out to you to let you know the page Young Thunder is not for advertisement purposes, i'm simply doing what Wikipedia ask me to do by stating where I was in the photo base off the questions that was asked before uploading the picture,
I hope you understand and thanks for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youngthunder (talk • contribs) 03:22, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
