Welcome!
Hello, AlabamaBluesProject, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Alabama Blues Project, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

 * Starting an article
 * Your first article
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial

That username is fine, but we want you to consider the following: Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 18:34, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
 * I spoke with the user on IRC yesterday and am comfortable with her being unblocked so she can work on the article in the draftspace. – GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:38, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alabama Blues Project


A tag has been placed on Alabama Blues Project requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. JetBlast (talk) 21:11, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

I am confused as to why the page, Alabama Blues Project, was deleted. We have a significant impact on Alabama blues heritage and educating youth. We have received awards from the Presiden't Council on Arts and Humanities and Blues Foundation, both of which have Wiki pages. I realize I work for the ABP but I am not a founder and was not asked by anyone to submit this, I just believe the ABP is worthy.

My article was purely factual and unbiassed.

Please advice.

Alabama Blues Project
Hello! The username/blocking issue is all sorted now, and I've moved your article to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alabama Blues Project. You can work on it there, adding references and fixing the promotional language. When you're done, you can click the big green button and an experienced editor will review it. If they accept it, it will be moved to become an article; if they decline it, they will leave a note explaining what needs to be improved. As always, you're welcome to come back to for more live help. Good luck! – GorillaWarfare (talk) 18:44, 6 July 2013 (UTC)
