User talk:Hornberger Worstell

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | rangeblocks | unblock | contribs | deleted contribs) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked.

Request reason: "This is a resubmittal as I included this information in a different section when I first requested to be unblocked:

I am writing to request that the page Hornberger + Worstell be unblocked and that the brief article about the company be re-posted on Wikipedia. The article is un-biased, informative and provides links to numerous articles currently in existence on Wikipedia including the W Hotel San Francisco, Hotel del Coronado, Ghirardelli Square, and CSU Hayward.

Hornberger + Worstell is an architectural firm and, after reviewing articles from other architectural firms such as SOM and HOK, it is believed that the Hornberger + Worstell is in keeping with the objective language used to discuss these firms. I am new to Wikipedia and understand that my username and article name may be viewed as conflicting interests, but I implore you to review the article once more to determine it's authenticity and neutrality."

Decline reason: "reason —Company names are not allowed, neither are role accounts nor conflicts of interest. See WP:U, WP:COI — Rlevse • Talk • 20:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)"

[edit] Speedy deletion of Hornberger + Worstell

A tag has been placed on Hornberger + Worstell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TrulyBlue (talk) 16:42, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
