User talk:Glowmetrics

Hello, Glowmetrics, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the articles you created, such as User:Glowmetrics/sandbox, may not meet Wikipedia's content policies. In short, to be included on Wikipedia, the topic of an article must be notable and have been covered by published reliable and independent sources.

Please read Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article for review. Note that articles are reviewed by volunteers and that it can take some time. If you'd like someone else to create an article, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or the page on contributing to Wikipedia. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

• Article development
• Standard layout
• Lead section
• The perfect article
• Task Center – for contributing to other articles. Writing a new article is tough, so getting experience elsewhere is useful.

If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Your user page, User:Glowmetrics/sandbox, has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be advertising which only promoted or publicized someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. 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.

Please do not recreate the material without addressing these concerns, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If you think this page should not have been deleted for this reason, or you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, website, or role, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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; and
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. If you are having trouble, you may want to try using the unblock wizard.

Before requesting a new username, check if it is still available. If the search says "There is no global account for [username]", the username is free to use.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the edit. 331dot (talk) 12:31, 13 March 2026 (UTC)

• Your draft included "In 2017 the agency achieved its status as a Google Marketing Platform Certified Partner, which requires rigorous vetting of the company’s ability to manage enterprise-level data tools." This is promotional wording, and unsourced. However, I think you are wasting your time rewriting the article to be less promotional, because the company does not meet Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies). To be included a company needs significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. I don't think your company has that coverage. PhilKnight (talk) 04:07, 19 March 2026 (UTC)

(Non-administrator comment) Based on my observations of unblock requests, it is unlikely that administrators will unblock your account if your only goal is to write about your non-notable company (which yes, it is promotion). If that is your only reason for being on Wikipedia, then I would suggest that you instead find an alternative outlet where this type of writing is allowed. However, if you are interested in being a general contributor, editing topics where you have no conflict of interest, then please give some examples of topic areas that interest you. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:54, 19 March 2026 (UTC)
