I've changed this block to allow account creation under a new name. If a new account is created the user should do some other editing besides just promoting their own organization, and, of course, not copy text.
It is OK to promote an organization or viewpoint; the problem arises when you go too far and the article is simply advertising rather than an article about the subject.

Just for reference, the relevant guidelines are:
Unambiguous use of a name or URL of a company, group or product as a
username is generally not permitted, and users who adopt such a username may
be blocked if their editing behavior appears to be promotional. However,
users who adopt such usernames but who are not editing problematically
should not be summarily blocked if their edits are otherwise constructive;
instead, they should be gently but firmly encouraged to change their
username.

Unambiguous use of a name or URL of a company, group or product as a
username is generally not permitted.
Users who adopt such a username and engage in inappropriately promotional
behaviors in articles about the company, group, or product, are usually
blocked.
Users who adopt such usernames, but who are not editing problematically in
related articles, should not be blocked. Instead, they should be gently
encouraged to change their username.

That blocking policy sometimes comes across as a bit harsh. It is always
better to have a word with the editor first, rather than block them
outright.

Dear, I would like to draw your attention to the history
of article
"migrantas" an initiative in Berlin on the empowerment of
migrant women, that was
deleted by the concept autopromotion and later by
the attribution of
irrelevance.Men and women worked for improving it
but it seems without
results.It would be good to have some suggestions
on that.best regards,

There was only one edit, the edit by Migrantas-Berlin creating it.
That's the English Wikipedia.

For example do a google search for "Each drawing is shown and commented upon within the group" which is a sentence in the deleted article. It gets three hits, for example:
http://www.grassrootsfeminism.net/cms/node/310
I think what needs to be done is to do the article over again without doing the extensive word for word copying. It seems notable. As to "Unambiguous advertising or promotion" there was only one editor, who also was blocked. creation of that article seems to be their only edit:

This block is within the rules as the user name is the name of the project they were promoting in their only edit. They can create an account with a different name.
