Speedy deletion nomination of User:Andrewbdporter/sandbox

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 User:Andrewbdporter/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 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 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.

October 2017

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Alex Shih ^Talk 04:48, 12 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

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).

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

Request reason:

I am not trying to advertise, the page wasn't ready. I am new at creating pages. I have added to other pages in the past, but I am unsure how to show them on my page. I am new at this. Please unblock me, so I can help wikipedia. I am not trying to damage wikipedia. I understand how my page could be seen as spam, but it isn't. Andrewbdporter (talk) 18:16, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I do not see any indication that you understand why your article was not appropriate. If you choose to make another unblock request, you should outline what articles you intend to edit and what sort of edits you intend to make. GoldenRing (talk) 08:30, 15 October 2017 (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.

Well, of course it is spam. In what way is your wedding video business in a village of 5000 people be suitable for an encyclopedia entry? In what way could it not be construed as advertising? --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇} 19:53, 14 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking that their block be reviewed:

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

Request reason:

I have a vast knowledge in film and photography. I've also have worked on various documentary films / narrative films that have wikipedia pages already. I can add to these articles with the appropriate sources of course. Also, I do understand why my article was blocked.

Notes:

In some cases, you may not in fact be blocked, or your block has already expired. Please check the list of active blocks. If no block is listed, then you have been autoblocked by the automated anti-vandalism systems. Please remove this request and follow these instructions instead for quick attention by an administrator.
Please read our guide to appealing blocks to make sure that your unblock request will help your case. You may change your request at any time.

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, replace this template with the following, replacing "blocking administrator" with the name of the blocking admin:

{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=I have a vast knowledge in film and photography. I've also have worked on various documentary films / narrative films that have wikipedia pages already. I can add to these articles with the appropriate sources of course. Also, I do understand why my article was blocked. |3 = ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have a vast knowledge in film and photography. I've also have worked on various documentary films / narrative films that have wikipedia pages already. I can add to these articles with the appropriate sources of course. Also, I do understand why my article was blocked. |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:

{{unblock reviewed |1=I have a vast knowledge in film and photography. I've also have worked on various documentary films / narrative films that have wikipedia pages already. I can add to these articles with the appropriate sources of course. Also, I do understand why my article was blocked. |accept = accept reason here ~~~~}}

@Alex Shih: While I agree that the page that Andrewbdporter could be seen as advertising, it was not blatant spam, and considering also his statement above about his editing intentions, plus the fact that he has already made one perfectly good edit on an article, I am inclined to give him another chance by unblocking. As the blocking administrator do you have any opinion to express? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:08, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
