User talk:14wombats

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:14wombats, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 331dot (talk) 23:06, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a social network. Wikipedia is not a place to socialize or do things that are not directly related to improving the encyclopedia. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. We're sorry if this message has discouraged you from editing here, but the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia (please see WP:NOT for further details). Thank you. 331dot (talk) 23:07, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... 15 Wombats is a real band. They are just starting out but are going to be big and fans need a wikipedia page to know more about them. It will be updated as time goes on with the band of course but for now this is all that can be done. The fans need this


 * Wikipedia is not for promotional purposes, especially for a band created today. You will also likely be asked to change your username as usernames cannot be that of a group. 331dot (talk) 23:10, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... this is not promotional we are not promoting the band simply informing people about it. It is not being used as promotion and it is only to be used to inform fans about who is in the band and how the band came to be. It's the same thing as a page for One Direction or 5 Seconds Of Summer or The Neighbourhood. It's not promotion just information


 * If you have further comment, please edit this page directly. "Simply informing people" is precisely what promotion is, especially on your userpage, which is not article space. Bands must meet notability guidelines to have an article, which in your case seems unlikely as you state this band was formed today. 331dot (talk) 23:13, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... I don't see why we have to change the username. It's not even the bands name the band is 15 Wombats this is 14Wombats. If you tell me how to change it I will but I will not delete the page. I worked hard on it and there are already some fans. The band has been a coming thing for a while but I only said it was only created today because today was the day we finally decided to name it 15 Wombats so if you could please just let the page stay up it is NOT for promotion it would be much appreciated

I don't mean "simply informing people" as though trying to promote ourselves. I'm saying "simply informing people" as in telling people about us who want to know more about us. It's only to inform them of information about the band like our names and our rolls in the band. It is not to try and promote ourselves or our music. Giving people our names in the band is hardly promotion I don't see why this is an issue at all I see nothing wrong with the page I don't see it as promotional


 * If you have further comment, please edit this page directly (click on "Talk" at the top of the screen instead of clicking "contest this deletion"). I understand perfectly what you are trying to do but that is still promotion.  Your band must be notable in order to have a Wikipedia article, as shown with reliable sources independent of your band. Wikipedia is not for merely providing information; it is an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a social network; what you want to accomplish would be better done on Facebook or other similar networks. 331dot (talk) 23:24, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
The page should be allowed up. If a fan had made it it would've been okay. We've been making music since 2013. Our band has been around for a while it was just formerly called by another name and we got new members so we thought we'd make a new wikipedia page to update it. plenty of random wikipedia pages are made and ours is not random it's a serious thing. Plenty of pages don't meet necessary criteria all the time but they stay. WE ARE OPENING ON A NATIONAL TOUR FOR CRYING OUT LOUD (it has not been officially announced but it's coming we've spoken with the artists management) WE CERTAINLY FIT THE CRITERIA AND THE PAGE DESERVES TO STAY I WILL FIGHT FOR THIS IT'S NOT FAIR WHAT IF SOMEONE TRIES TO LOOK UP 15 WOMBATS I GUESS ANOTHER WEBSITE WILL GET ALL THE GLORY AND NOT YOU


 * Once more, please edit this page directly without clicking "Contest this deletion". Pages that do not meet the criteria do not stay around.  If you have reliable sources claiming what you state, please offer them. Lastly, as a member of the band you should review the conflict of interest policy before creating an article about it (your userpage is not article space). 331dot (talk) 23:28, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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 by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Diannaa (talk) 02:38, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
