Speedy deletion nomination of User:HopperElec

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:HopperElec, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises 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.

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 deleted 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.

This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

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 or a web site, 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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

hopperelec (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

The infringing User page content was written in 2019 when I was 12 years old, as is mentioned in the infringing content. Nowadays, I am old enough to understand that this was not an appropriate use of Wikipedia. The infringing content referred to me as a "company", but this is not true and was just a naive attempt at making myself look more professional. Since "hopperelec" does not actually refer to any organization but is rather just the username I use to represent me as an individual, I wouldn't consider the username itself to be promotional. Therefore, I hope it is okay for me to retain this username. Nowadays, I am a Tyne and Wear Metro enthusiast, and I am keen to edit articles related to the Metro system, not to promote myself or any organization

Accept reason:

I have unblocked. Welcome back. PhilKnight (talk) 16:18, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

• @NJA: - any objection to an unblock? PhilKnight (talk) 15:55, 18 August 2025 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the ping. None at all. Best, N.J.A. | talk 15:58, 18 August 2025 (UTC)

Stepford

Hi, just a heads up... folk adding Stepford content is a bit of an epidemic on railway pages throughout the project. There's a discussion about it at WT:WikiProject UK Railways#Stepford County Railways. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 20:15, 17 January 2026 (UTC)
