I'm only joking, so no one take me too seriously here, but I think writing an ALLCAPS LETTER DEMANDING IMMEDIATE ACTION is a bannable offense in and of itself.
It's very difficult to imagine that this person is really serious, or just trying to be a pain in the ass. No one needs to apologize for disregarding completely lunatic positions.
Anticapitalist, Wikipedia is not anticapitalist. It's an encyclopedia. Canon is a famous company, and it is therefore deserving of an encyclopedia article.

PLEASE DESYSOP MORWEN!
MARWEN BANNED ME WITHOUT JUSTIFICATION WHEN I USED THE VOTES FOR
DELETION
PAGE TO VOTE FOR THE DELETION OF A BUSINESS ADVERTISEMENT PAGE IN WIKIPEDIA.
ADVERTISEMENTS SHOULD BE DELETED IN WIKIPIDIA. WHY AN ENCYCLOPEDIA NEEDS PAGES ON FOR-PROFIT COMPANIES?
WIKI IS NOT YELLOW PAGES. IT IS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA. THOSE WHO WANT TO FIND
A
COMPANY AND LEARN ABOUT IT CAN VISIT ITS WEBSITE AND READ THEIR
PROPAGANDA.

SO WE, THE WIKIPEDIANS, DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO WRITE IN OUR FAVORITE WRITING STYLE??
COMMERCIALIZATION SUCKS.
IF YOU STILL WANNA ADVERTISEMENTS IN WIKI, EACH COMPANY ARTICLE MUST HAVE A SECTION NAMED "OPPOSING VIEWS" WITH LINKS TO ARTICLES LIKE [[ANTI-CAPITALISM]], [[ANARCHISM]] ETC!!! SO THE PEOPLE CAN KNOW THE TRUTH
