Speedy deletion nomination of Ethereal Fire


A tag has been placed on Ethereal Fire 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 band or musician, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the 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 visit the the page's talk 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 14:34, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. Alexf(talk) 14:36, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Unblock

 * Factual or not, the band is not notable/encyclopedia according to the related policies. what kind of articles do you intend to edit, should you be allowed to change your username?  ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 17:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Etherealfireuk


A tag has been placed on User:Etherealfireuk, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted.

 * If you can't understand why, here's some policies. WP:COI is on conflict of interest - you writing about yours. WP:BAND is about notability for musicians. When you meet that one is the time for an article - not before. Sorry, but that's the way it is. WP:RS is another important one. Reliable Sources. If you just want to have easily found space, try LinkedIn or AboutUs. So far as I know, both are free, and they come well up in the Google list from what I have seen of them.

 * Would you consider a Facebook page or a company handout to be reliable? That's why we don't like 'by' but prefer 'about'. The article is deleted, but admins can see it. That's as far as we go with deletion (except for certain things such as clear libels). It would help if you could say what sort of editing you were thinking of doing. And please don't put up another 'unblock me' each time - we've got the message already... Peridon (talk) 22:13, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

Then i would ask that you please delete the post and account. I will wait until someone adds the details 'outside of the band' and in the near future if that meets your criteria.. I think a 'QUOTE' from a reasonable source cannot be construed as a promotion, and if it is, then your reasonings and difficultly strict way to posting ads is not for me.

I posted the article quite innocently about our band for people to read. I didnt add any myspace, or social networking details. I think for you all to suddenly bear down upon me for not sitting here reading your supposed thousands of rules and regulation is a bit of a bad show..

So rather than describe to you like a naughty school boy, HOW i want to change my details, please delete the post fully. You will not see another post about my band UNLESS another user outside of my band adds it.

If i had known that wikipedia would be so difficult and punishing I'd never have even considered it.
