Speedy deletion nomination of Chi chapter sigma chi


A tag has been placed on Chi chapter sigma chi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Peridon (talk) 22:25, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

{{unblock-auto reviewed|208.5.98.155|Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Chichapter". The reason given for Chichapter's block is: {spamusernameblock}}|Toddst1|decline=This account can't be unblocked, because it uses the name of an organization as its username. It isn't appropriate for you to write about your own organization, but don't worry; if your organization is truly notable, then it's inevitable that people outside the group will write about it. — FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:01, 16 June 2010 (UTC)}} I would like to contest the deletion of the article and can substantiate why it is important, significant and/or notable. This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Chichapter, does not meet our username policy.

'''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).'''

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

Please choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. However, do not create a new account if you wish to credit your existing contributions to a new name through a username change. To request a username change:
 * Add on your user talk page. You should be able to edit this talk page even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a list of names that have already been taken. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

It sounds like you haven't read the notablity criteria for organizations yet? I gave you the link so you could get the answers to your questions. "Taking a stand for racial equality" isn't something that would, in itself, make an organization notable. I've put the appropriate username-block template on your page, so you can get instructions on how to request unblocking to change your username, but you'll need to show that you are not planning to write about your organization, and have plans for other useful edits. No, it wouldn't be fair to ask your wife to edit on your behalf- don't worry; if your organization is notable, people outside the organization will get the idea to write about it after reading about the organization, and you won't have to ask anyone at all to write about it. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:44, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * And, to answer the question you added, no, at Wikipedia, creating an article to promote your own organization does fall under the general unbrella of 'spamming.' That doesn't have anything to do with your block (which is for having a promotional username) or with the deletion of the article (which was because it didn't assert notability), however.  If you are interested in volunteering to help write articles on other subjects, just request a different username, and clarify that you're planning to stop writing about your organization.  If you're only interested in writing about your organization, that's fine, but you should do that on the organization's web site, not at Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 16:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

User:FisherQueen - I am not requesting a new user name, I am capable of creating a new account. In fact, that's even recommended under Wikipedia guidelines when renaming accounts. The specific criteria for what my wife is trying to write about falls under the "event notability". According to Wikipedia guidelines, "there is no practical limit to the number of topics we can cover or the total amount of content... Events are often considered to be notable if they act as a precedent or catalyst for something else. This may include effects on the views and behaviors of society and legislation." I'm not going to go into the specifics of the event, I shouldn't have to. Your assumption is that I'm asking my wife to edit on my behalf - that is a shallow assumption and undercuts your confidence in her ability as an independent human being. She became interested after the initial page was taken down and block was put in place. Are you afraid that she is capable of thinking for herself and coming to her own conclusions? How many degrees of seperation must exist between the author and the event? Can I write about my brother-in-law who is a musician and has a Wikipedia page? If someone writes false information about me, can I not correct it? I have a nearly infinite number of IP addresses and accounts to work from, this has become a matter of principle for me. I think my principles for allowing the IP to be unblocked align more closely with a free society and Wikipedia's goals than your reasons for blocking. What would Jimbo say? You are making a mountain out of a mole hill and why? You are acting as the judge, jury and executioner. We are guilty and must prove our innocence while pointless articles about "dutch ovens" pop up left and right. Chichapter (talk) 17:12, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * There's no need to create a second unblock request. If you are not requesting unblocking, why are you using the unblock request template?  Your further comments are not relevant to the question of whether your organization is notable or not.  I cannot tell, from reading them, whether you have even read the notability criteria or not yet.  You quote from them, but your quote doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article you created.  There is no guilt or innocence in this situation, nor are there any mountains, but articles that do not make an assertion of notability are deleted.  If you think that Dutch oven (practical joke) does not meet the notability criteria, you are welcome to nominate it for deletion, but in order to do so, you'll need to understand the notability criteria well enough to explain why that article does not meet them.  There is no need to discuss your wife, your brother-in-law, Jimbo, the principles of a free society, or whether the death penalty can be effectively administered by internet, because none of those subjects are related to your block.  You are blocked because your username is the name of a real organization.  The article you created was deleted because it did not make any claim of notability.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:20, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Listen, you're talking about a lot of different things at once. What is the adminstrative action you are requesting, and why? I thought you were asking for this account to be unblocked, but now I'm confused about what it is you're requesting. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 17:23, 16 June 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not willing to unblock those ip addresses, because I think that you are very likely to break the same rules again with a new account, and will just have to be blocked again. I am only one person, of course, but I do not think you will find any administrator willing to permit you to change your username without showing that you understand the rules.   -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:11, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

 * You were advised to not post multiple unblock requests at the same time already; rather than deny, I've tlx'd it ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 22:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Since you have now personally insulted me, even though I've wasted a considerable amount of time trying to help you, I am no longer willing to help you. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:14, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess I was wrong in adding that 'username block' template to this page, as I did above, so you could easily read the instructions on how to request a name change, since you're now using the template, not to follow those instructions, but to insist on being unblocked even though you've failed to demonstrate any understanding of the rules you claim to have read but cannot explain. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:16, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

FisherQueen - No worries, I don't think you were ever willing to help me. I'm not trying to get my username unblocked. You set the personal tone by insulting my wife and the my intentions of what I "might" do. Hope you live a long and happy life. Chichapter (talk) 21:52, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing your talkpage due to abuse of the unblock process. You may still contest any current block by e-mailing [mailto:unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org unblock-en-l], but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
